In this study, numerically analysed the Falkner-Skan equation in the two-dimensional laminar flow past a moveable wedge for a Newtonian fluid with suction/injection is investigated through Matlab environment. The boundary conditions are scrutinized and applied in this equation for different conditions. The simultaneous effect of the parameter which used to measure the pressure gradient along x-axis (β), velocity ratio between the wedge and mainstream (λ), suction and injection are inspected on the momentum boundary layer thickness or dimensionless velocity profile.
