In the above paper a theoretical investigation of MHD convective flow and heat transfer of an incompressible viscous nanofluid past a porous vertical stretching sheet in the presence of variable stream condition is presented. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed by a Lie symmetry group transformation and the ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using Runge–Kutta...
A numerical investigation of transient magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow past an infinite vertical plate embedded in a porous medium with viscous dissipation is presented in the above paper. The governing differential equations are transformed into a set of non-linear coupled partial differential equations and are solved numerically using the finite element method. Numerical results for the...
The flow of a non-Newtonian, Carreau fluid, directed normally to a horizontal, stationary, circular cylinder is considered in the present paper. The problem is investigated numerically using the commercial code ANSYS FLUENT with a very large calculation domain in order that the flow could be considered unbounded. The investigation covers the power-law index from 0.2 up to 2, the Reynolds number range...
In a recent paper by Makinde and Olanrewaju (J Fluids Eng 132:044502, 2010) the effect of thermal buoyancy along a stationary vertical plate with a uniform free stream flow was considered. The plate’s wall thermal boundary condition and the fluid thermal expansion coefficient were variable along the plate in order that the problem accepts a similarity solution. In the present work, the problem has...
In a recent paper by Bataller (Appl Math Comput 198 333–338, 2008) the effect of radiation on the classical Blasius flow along a stationary plate in a horizontal free stream was considered. The results in that paper have been produced using a linearized Rosseland approximation, which is valid only for small temperature differences between the plate and the ambient fluid. In the present work, we extend...
