MHD Falkner-Skan Boundary Layer Flow past a Moving Wedge with Suction (Injection)

The behaviour of laminar boundary layer flow field over a solid surface moving with constant speed plays a significant role in several applications of science and technology. This paper examines the steady, laminar incompressible boundary-layer flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid past a moving wedge with suction (injection) in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The set of pa...

Flow analysis for the Falkner–Skan wedge flow

In this article an analytical technique, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is applied to solve the momentum and energy equations in the case of a two-dimensional incompressible flow passing over a wedge. The trail and error method and Padé approximation strategies have been used to obtain the constant coefficients in the approximated solution. The effects of the polynomial terms of HAM...

b = velocity coefficient cp = specific heat f = nondimensional stream function K = nonequilibrium parameter Kn = Knudsen number k = thermal conductivity l = slip length M = Mach number m = flow exponent n = distance in the normal direction P = pressure Pr = Prandtl number Re = Reynolds number T = temperature U = external x velocity u = x velocity v = y velocity x = position in the flow directio...

MHD Falkner-Skan Boundary Layer Flow with Internal Heat Generation or Absorption

This paper examines the forced convection flow of incompressible, electrically conducting viscous fluid past a sharp wedge in the presence of heat generation or absorption with an applied magnetic field. The system of partial differential equations governing Falkner Skan wedge flow and heat transfer is first transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transform...
