Similarity solutions for flow over an impermeable, non-linearly (quadratic) stretching sheet were studied recently by Raptis and Perdikis (Int. J. Non-linear Mech. 41 (2006) 527-529) using a stream function of the form ψ=αxf(η)+βx2g(η). A fundamental error in their problem formulation is pointed out. On correction, it is shown that similarity solutions do not exist for this choice of ψ. 相似文献

This paper deals with the study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a visco-elastic fluid immersed in a porous medium over a non-isothermal stretching sheet. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as a function of temperature. The presence of variable viscosity of the fluid leads to the coupling and the non-linearity in the boundary value problem. A numerical shooting algorithm for two unknown initial conditions with fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme has been used to solve the coupled non-linear boundary value problem. An analysis has been carried out for two different cases namely (1) prescribed surface temperature (PST), and (2) prescribed heat flux (PHF), to get the effect of fluid viscosity, permeability parameter and visco-elastic parameter for various situations. The important finding of our study is that the effect of fluid viscosity parameter is to decrease the wall temperature profile significantly when flow is through a porous medium. Further, the effect of permeability parameter is to decrease the skin friction on the sheet. 相似文献

In the present work, the effect of MHD flow and heat transfer within a boundary layer flow on an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM)
fluid over a stretching sheet is examined. The governing boundary layer equations of motion and heat transfer are non-dimensionalized
using suitable similarity variables and the resulting transformed, ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically
by shooting technique with fourth order Runge–Kutta method. For a UCM fluid, a thinning of the boundary layer and a drop in
wall skin friction coefficient is predicted to occur for higher the elastic number. The objective of the present work is to
investigate the effect of Maxwell parameter β, magnetic parameter Mn and Prandtl number Pr on the temperature field above the sheet. 相似文献

An unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow over a shrinking permeable sheet embedded in a moving viscous electrically conducting fluid is investigated both analytically and numerically. The velocity slip at the solid surface is taken into account in the boundary conditions. A novel analytical method named DTMBF is proposed and used to get the approximate analytical solutions to the nonlinear governing equation along with the boundary conditions at infinity. All analytical results are compared with those obtained by a numerical method. The comparison shows good agreement, which validates the accuracy of the DTM-BF method. Moreover, the existence ranges of the dual solutions and the unique solution for various parameters are obtained. The effects of the velocity slip parameter, the unsteadiness parameter, the magnetic parameter, the suction/injection parameter, and the velocity ratio parameter on the skin friction, the unique velocity, and the dual velocity profiles are explored, respectively. 相似文献

The unsteady mixed convection flow of an incompressible laminar electrically conducting fluid over an impulsively stretched permeable vertical surface in an unbounded quiescent fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field has been investigated. At the same time, the surface temperature is suddenly increased from the surrounding fluid temperature or a constant heat flux is suddenly imposed on the surface. The problem is formulated in such a way that for small time it is governed by Rayleigh type of equation and for large time by Crane type of equation. The non-linear coupled parabolic partial differential equations governing the unsteady mixed convection flow under boundary layer approximations have been solved analytically by using the homotopy analysis method as well as numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. The local skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are found to decrease rapidly with time in a small time interval and they tend to steady-state values for t*≥5. They also increase with the buoyancy force and suction, but decrease with injection rate. The local skin friction coefficient increases with the magnetic field, but the local Nusselt number decreases. There is a smooth transition from the unsteady state to the steady state. 相似文献

An investigation has been conducted on the MHD Casson fluid and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching sheet with viscous dissipation effects. With suitable dimensionless variables, partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations, which are then solved by the homotopy analysis method. Dependences of flow characteristics on various parameters involved into the equations are obtained. 相似文献

Magnetohydrodynamic flow of an electrically conducting power-law fluid in the vicinity of a constantly rotating infinite disk in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is considered. The steady, laminar and axi-symmetric flow is driven solely by the rotating disk, and the incompressible fluid obeys the inelastic Ostwald de Waele power-law model. The three-dimensional boundary layer equations transform exactly into a set of ordinary differential equations in a generalized similarity variable. These ODEs are solved numerically for values of the magnetic parameter m up to 4.0. The effect of the magnetic field is to reduce, and eventually suppress, the radially directed outflow. An accompanying reduction of the axial flow towards the disk is observed, together with a thinning of the boundary layer adjacent to the disk, thereby increasing the torque required to maintain rotation of the disk at the prescribed angular velocity. The influence of the magnetic field is more pronounced for shear-thinning than for shear-thickening fluids. 相似文献

An analysis is presented for the steady non-linear viscous flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a horizontal surface
of variable temperature with a power-law velocity under the influences of suction/blowing, viscous dissipation and thermal
radiation. Numerical results are illustrated by means of tables and graphs. The governing partial differential equations are
converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation. The effects of the stretching parameter

An analysis is performed for the boundary-layer flow of a viscous fluid over a nonlinear axisymmetric stretching sheet. By
introducing new nonlinear similarity transformations, the partial differential equations governing the flow are reduced to
an ordinary differential equation. The resulting ordinary differential equation is solved using the homotopy analysis method
(HAM). Analytic solution is given in the form of an infinite series. Convergence of the obtained series solution is explicitly
established. The solution for an axisymmetric linear stretching sheet is obtained as a special case. 相似文献

This study is concerned with the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) rotating boundary layer flow of a viscous fluid caused by the shrinking
surface. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed for the analytic solution. The similarity transformations have been used
for reducing the partial differential equations into a system of two coupled ordinary differential equations. The series solution
of the obtained system is developed and convergence of the results are explicitly given. The effects of the parameters M, s and λ on the velocity fields are presented graphically and discussed. It is worth mentioning here that for the shrinking
surface the stable and convergent solutions are possible only for MHD flows. 相似文献

The effect of chemical reaction on free convective flow and mass transfer of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a stretching surface is investigated in the presence of a constant transverse magnetic field. The non-linear boundary layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results of the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number Nu, the local Sherwood number Sh, as will as the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented for gases with a Prandtl number of 0.71 for various values of chemical reaction parameter, order of reaction, magnetic parameter and Schmidt number. 相似文献

Summary A theoretical analysis is made of the flow of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid contained between two concentric spheres when the outer sphere is moved instantaneously in a given direction, whilst the inner sphere remains at rest. The solution is developed by successive approximations, the first corresponding to the instantaneous slow flow of a Newtonian viscous fluid. By allowing the radius of the outer sphere to approach infinity, the result obtained can be used to give an approximate solution to the equations of motion of a visco-elastic fluid flowing slowly past a fixed sphere. 相似文献

Magnetohydrodynamic flow of an electrically conducting power-law fluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is investigated by using an exact similarity transformation. The effect of magnetic field on the now characteristics is explored numerically, and it is concluded that the magnetic field tends to make the boundary layer thinner, thereby increasing the wall friction. 相似文献

Analysis of hydromagnetic flow of a dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is carried out with a view to throw adequate light on the effects of fluid-particle interaction, particle loading, and suction on the flow characteristics. The equations of motion are reduced to coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations. These coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically on an IBM 4381 with double precession, using a variable order, variable step-size finite-difference method. The numerical solutions are compared with their approximate solutions, obtained by a perturbation technique. For small values of β the exact (numerical) solution is in close agreement with that of the analytical (approximate) solution. It is observed that, even in the presence of a transverse magnetic field and suction, the transverse velocity of both the fluid and particle G phases decreases with an increase in the fluid-particle interaction parameter, β, or the particle-loading parameter, k. Moreover, the particle density is maximum at the surface of the stretching sheet, and the shearing stress increases with an increase in β or k. 相似文献

The effects of non-uniform heat generation/absorption and viscous dissipation on heat transfer of a non-Newtonian power-law
fluid on a non-linearly stretching surface have been examined. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations describing
the problem are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformation.
The transformed system of ordinary differential equations is solved numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta method with
the shooting technique. Graphical solutions for the dimensionless temperature are presented and discussed for various values
of the power-law index parameter, the Prandtl number, the heat generation/absorption parameter and the Eckert number. The
results show that the local Nusselt number is reduced with increasing the Eckert number or the heat generation parameter,
whereas the heat absorption parameter has the effect of enhancing the local Nusselt number. 相似文献

The steady two-dimensional flow of an incompressible viscous and electrically conducting fluid over a non-linearly semi-infinite stretching sheet in the presence of a chemical reaction and under the influence of a magnetic field is analyzed. The equations governing the flow and concentration field are reduced to a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. These non-linear differential equations are solved numerically by using the shooting method. The numerical results for the concentration field are presented through graphs. 相似文献
