The normal impingement of axisymmetric Homann stagnation-point flow on a surface executing perpendicular, planar, biaxial stretching is studied. field generated an exact solution the steady, three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in form similarity solution. It shown that two sets dual solutions exist, forming four different branches steady solutions. For sufficiently small stretches (includ...

Unsteady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a flat deformable sheet is studied when the flow is started impulsively from rest and the sheet is suddenly stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation point. After a similarity transformation, the unsteady boundary layer equation is solved numerically using the...

The steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian Walters' B' fluid with slip is studied. The fluid impinges on the wall either orthogonally or obliquely. A finite difference technique is employed to obtain solutions. 1. Introduction. Some rheologically complex fluids such as polymer solutions, blood, paints, and certain oils cannot be adequately described by the Navier-Stokes...

Research involving the interaction of flow with morphological instability during directional solidification of binary alloys is reviewed. In general, flow may arise during the solidification process from thermal and solutal buoyancy, changes in density upon solidification, thermocapillary forces at free boundaries, or external forcing of the system. We focus primarily on the last of these, givi...

In this study, the two-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow in a nanofluid in the presence of thermal radiation is investigated. Using a similarity transform, the NavierStokes equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The similarity equations are solved numerically for three types of nanoparticles, namely copper (Cu), a...
