Fazio] Summary: In the present paper we point out that the correct way to solve the Blasius problem by numerical means is to reformulate it as free boundary value problem. In the new formulation the truncated boundary (instead of infinity) is the unknown free boundary and it has to be determined as part of the numerical solution. Taking into account the "partial” inavariance of the mathematical model at hand with respect to a stretching group we define a non-iterative transformation method. Further, we compare the improved numerical results, obtained by the method in point, with analytical and numerical ones. Moreover, the numerical results confirm that the question of accuracy depends on the value of the free boundary. Therefore, this indicates that boundary value problems with a boundary condition at infinity should be numerically reformulated as free boundary value problems.
