Abstract The steady boundary layer stagnation-point flow of Casson fluid and heat transfer towards a shrinking/stretching sheet is studied. Appropriate
similarity transformations are employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into the self-similar ordinary differential equations
and those are then solved numerically using very efficient shooting method. The numerical computations are carried out for several values of
parameters involved (especially, velocity ratio parameter and Casson parameter) to know the possibility of similarity solution for the boundary layer
stagnation-point flow. It is found that the range of velocity ratio parameter for which similarity solution exists is unaltered for any change in… More >
