Abstract: Blasius equation describes the boundary layer formed over a flat plate inside a fluid and this equation is solved numerically by the method of moments which is a type of weighted residual methods. Compared to the traditionally used Runge - Kutta Method, Method of Moments propose a direct solution to Blasius Equation which makes it easier to solve. The obtained solutions show good agreement with the results found in literature and this study aims to demonstrate the power of the method.
