Unsteady Stagnation-Point Flow towards a Shrinking Sheet with Radiation Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the problem of unsteady stagnationpoint flow and heat transfer induced by a shrinking sheet in the presence of radiation effect is studied. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically by the shooting method. The influence of radiation, unsteadiness and shrinking parameters, and the Prandtl number on the reduced skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer coefficient, as well as the velocity and temperature profiles are presented and discussed in detail. It is found that dual solutions exist and the temperature distribution becomes less significant with radiation parameter. Keywords—Heat transfer, Radiation effect, Shrinking sheet Unsteady flow.

Stagnation-point flow of a viscous fluid towards a stretching surface with variable thickness and thermal radiation
In the present analysis, we study the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid near the two-dimensional stagnation-point flow over a stretching surface. The effects of variable thickness and radiation are also taken into account and assumed that the sheet is non-flat. Using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations are first converted to ordin...

In this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) axisymmetric stagnation-point flow of an unsteady and electrically conducting incompressible viscous fluid in with temperature dependent thermal conductivity, thermal radiation and Navier slip is investigated. The flow is due to a shrinking surface that is shrunk axisymmetrically in its own plane with a linear velocity. The magnetic field is imposed ...
