Stagnation-Point Flow Towards a Heated Porous stretching Sheet Through a Porous Medium with Thermal Radiation and Variable Viscosity
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 0, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
An analysis is made for the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow in a porous medium of an incompressible viscous fluid towards a permeable stretching surface with variable viscosity and thermal radiation. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to be an inverse linear function of the fluid temperature. The stretching velocity and the surface temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The governing equations for the problem where changed to dimensionless ordinary differential equations using scaling group of transformations. The transformed governing equations in the present study were solved numerically by using Rung-Kutta and Shooting method. Favorable comparison with previously published work is performed. A comparison between the analytical and numerical solutions has been included. The numerical solutions are presented to illustrate the influence of the various values of the ratio of free stream velocity and stretching velocity, the viscosity variation parameter and the porosity parameter. These effects of the different parameter on the velocity and temperature profiles in the boundary layer as well as the coefficient of heat flux and shearing stress at the surface are presented graphically to show interesting aspects of the solution.
