Abstract: | This article considers the problem of mixed convection stagnation-point flow towards a vertical plate embedded in a porous
medium with prescribed surface heat flux. It is assumed that the free stream velocity and the surface heat flux vary linearly
from the stagnation point. Using a similarity transformation, the governing system of partial differential equations is transformed
into a system of ordinary differential equations, before being solved numerically by a finite-difference method. The features
of the flow and the heat transfer characteristics are analyzed and discussed. It is found that dual solutions exist for both
buoyancy assisting and opposing flows. |
