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 >

Abstract In this work, the steady natural convective boundary layer flow of nanofluid and heat transfer over a stretching sheet in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is investigated. We consider two different base fluids and three different nanoparticles were examined as nanofluid. A new model was used in the simulation of nanofluid. Similarity transformations are used to obtain a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by shooting method with Runge-Kutta fourth order scheme (MATLAB package). The effects of various parameters describing the transport in the presence of thermal radiation, buoyancy parameter, magnetic… More >

Abstract The present work is devoted to study the numerical simulation of steady magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of an Eyring-Powell fluid over a stretching sheet with viscous dissipation. The fluid is taken to be two dimensional electrically conducting and the flow is induced by a stretching surface. The basic governing partial differential equations of non-Newtonian fluid are reduced into the coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. The resulting ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically using shooting method with fourth order Runge- Kutta scheme. The effects of Hartmann number, Eckert number, Grashoff number and Eyring-Powell fluid parameters… More >
