Abstract
Numerical analysis has been used to find the neutral stability curve for the flat plate boundary layer in zero pressure gradient when the main terms representing the growth of boundary-layer thickness are either included or excluded. The boundary layer is found to be slightly less stable when the extra terms are included. The calculations give a critical Reynolds number of 500.
