solving pohlhausen equation,how I can write true function?

I write this function for solve pohlhausen equation.(T''+Pr/2 F T'=0 ) That F is output of blasius equation( 2F'''+FF''=0).but my code has error.how I can write true function?
function [Tetadot,fdot]=pohlhausen(eta,Teta,f);
fdot=blasius(eta,f);
Tetadot(1)=Teta(2);
Tetadot(2)=-(0.7/2)*f(1)*Teta(2);
Tetadot=Tetadot';
function fdot=blasius(eta,f);
fdot(1)=f(2);
fdot(2)=f(3);
fdot(3)=-(1/2)*f(1)*f(3);
fdot=fdot';
end
end

I solve the blasius equation numerically.
clear all;
clc;
p1=0.01;
p2=1;
Err=0.00001;
i=1;
err=1;
while err>Err
if i==1
[eta, f]=ode45('blasius1',[0:0.2: 10],[0 0 p1]);
m1=f(end,2);
[eta,f]=ode45('blasius1',[0:0.2: 10],[0 0 p2]);
m2=f(end,2);
else
p2=p1+(p2-p1)*(1-m1)/(m2-m1);
[eta,f]=ode45('blasius1',[0:0.2: 10],[0 0 p2]);
m2=f(end,2);
err=abs(1-m2);
end
i=i+1;
end
that the function of blasius is:
function fdot=blasius1(eta,f);
fdot(1)=f(2);
fdot(2)=f(3);
fdot(3)=-(1/2)*f(1)*f(3);
fdot=fdot';
I do not know how replace F data in pohlhausen's function to earn Teta numerically.
n1=0.01;
n2=1;
Er=0.00001;
j=1;
er=1;
while er>Er
if j==1
[eta,Teta]=ode45('pohlhausen',[0:0.2: 10],[0 n1]);
h1=Teta(end,1);
[eta,Teta]=ode45('pohlhausen',[0:0.2: 10],[0 n2]);
h2=Teta(end,1);
else
n2=n1+(n2-n1)*(1-h1)/(h2-h1);
[eta,Teta]=ode45('pohlhausen',[0:0.2: 10],[0 n2]);
h2=Teta(end,1);
er=abs(1-h2);
end
j=j+1;
pohlhausen function that I write is:
function [Tetadot,fdot]=pohlhausen(eta,Teta,f);
fdot=bla(eta,f);
Tetadot(1)=Teta(2);
Tetadot(2)=-(0.7/2)*f(1)*Teta(2);
Tetadot=Tetadot';
function fdot=bla(eta,f);
fdot(1)=f(2);
fdot(2)=f(3);
fdot(3)=-(1/2)*f(1)*f(3);
fdot=fdot';
end
end
end
You'll have to solve both equations (Blasius and Pohlhausen) together, not one after the other.

If you have the Symbolic Math Toolbox, let it do the programming for you:
% % 2F'''+FF''=0
% % T''+Pr/2 F T'=0
syms F(t) Pr T(t) t Y
Blasius = 2*diff(F,3)+F*diff(F,2) == 0;
Polhausen = diff(T,2) + Pr/2 * F * diff(T) == 0;
[VF,Sbs] = odeToVectorField(Blasius, Polhausen) % Vector Field Representation & Substitutions
polhfcn = matlabFunction(VF, 'Vars',{t,Y,Pr}) % Anonymous Function
varcell = sym2cell(Sbs); % Cell Array Of Substitutions
varstr = sprintfc('%s',[varcell{:}]); % Cell Array Of Substitution Strings (For ‘legend’ Or Other Uses), Can Also Use The ‘compose’ Function
producing:
polhfcn = @(t,Y,Pr) [Y(2);Pr.*Y(2).*Y(3).*(-1.0./2.0);Y(4);Y(5);Y(3).*Y(5).*(-1.0./2.0)];
and other information.
You would define a value for ‘Pr’ in your workspace, then use the function (in ode45, for example, although I have no idea what solver is most appropriate here):
[t,y] = ode45(@(t,Y)polhfcn(t,Y,Pr), tspan, ics);
Check to be sure I entered the equations correctly. I believe I did, although it is always appropriate to check.
