Mixed-convection boundary-layer flow of Sisko fluid along a stretching cylinder in a thermally stratied medium

Mixed Convection Flow along a Stretching Cylinder in a Thermally Stratified Medium

An analysis for the axisymmetric laminar boundary layer mixed convection flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid towards a stretching cylinder immersed in a thermally stratified medium is presented in this paper. Similarity transformation is employed to convert the governing partial differential equations into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equ...

Laminar boundary layer flow along a stretching cylinder embedded in a porous medium

Laminar boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid along a stretching horizontal cylinder embedded in a porous medium is discussed. The governing system of partial differential equations is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations. Mathematics has been used to solve such system after obtaining the missed initial conditions. The obtained results are compared with previo...

Forced Convective Heat Transfer in Boundary Layer Flow of Sisko Fluid over a Nonlinear Stretching Sheet

The major focus of this article is to analyze the forced convective heat transfer in a steady boundary layer flow of Sisko fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet. Two cases are studied, namely (i) the sheet with variable temperature (PST case) and (ii) the sheet with variable heat flux (PHF case). The heat transfer aspects are investigated for both integer and non-integer values of the power-l...

Falkner–Skan Boundary Layer Flow of a Sisko Fluid

In this paper, we investigate the steady boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian fluid, represented by a Sisko fluid, over a wedge in a moving fluid. The equations of motion are derived for boundary layer flow of an incompressible Sisko fluid using appropriate similarity variables. The governing equations are reduced to a single third-order highly nonlinear ordinary differential equation in the ...
