The author undertakes the first complete investigation of the application of similarity techniques in the solution of partial differential equations. Such solutions are obtained through the use of transformations that reduce a system of partial differential equations to one of ordinary differential equations. The author introduces new material on the solution of boundary layer equations, discusses group-theoretic methods of reducing by one the number of independent variables of a system of partial differential equations, and presents ways of predicting whether an equation or system of equations has possible similarity solutions.
