Abstract
A number of boundary layer flows induced by the axsymmetric stretching of a sheet are studied. The sheet is stretched with a velocity proportional to the distance from the vertical axis. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved analytically using the adopted variational iteration method (AVIM). The values for the skin friction obtained numerically are also listed in tables. Comparison of the results with the exact solutions shows that the mentioned method gives excellent results.
