Popis: The method consists in integrating the Orr-Sommerfeld equation in the direction from the free stream toward the wall. In order to satisfy the boundary conditions at the wall, two linearly independent solutions have to be found. To prevent numerical solutions from becoming linearly dependent, the method of order reduction instead of repeated orthogonalization has been used. The method has been applied to calculate the neutral curve for the Blasius profile.
