Abstract: The Levy Lee transformations are modified with the aim of transforming nonlinear partial differential equations of boundary value type governing the steady two dimensional incompressible boundary layer flows of non-Newtonian power-law fluids past a slender parabolic body of revolution into nonlinear ordinary differential equation with appropriate boundary conditions. The transverse curvature effect of the present flow situation is studied theoretically using group-theoretic initial value technique. It is concluded that the slope of the velocity profile is greatly influenced by transverse curvature and suction or blowing parameters.
