Summary

In the search for better methods to solve the Navier-Stokes equations, this is a preliminary test of spline collocation, or the application of spline collocation to solve two-point boundary-value problems. Pertinent spline theory and the spline collocation method are developed from first principles. The problems considered are nonlinear, third-order, ordinary differential equations. A FORTRAN IV computer program to solve such problems is described, and a source deck listing is included. Several sample problems solved by the program are presented. (Author).
