Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to consider the well‐known Falkner‐Skan equation. This equation appears in the modelling of various phenomena in physics and engineering.
Design/methodology/approach
The He's variational iteration method which is a very efficient tool for solving different kinds of problems, is employed for solving this problem.
Findings
Some other approaches are introduced to compare the efficiency of the new procedure. Several test examples are given to show the advantages of the present method over other existing techniques.
Originality/value
In this paper, a new and efficient technique is proposed to solve the Falkner‐Skan equation.
