چکیده

In this paper the steady three-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible, homogeneous, electrically conducting Newtonian fluid over a flat plate is investigated numerically. The fluid is permeated by a uniform external magnetic field H0. The effects of the magnetic field on the velocity profiles are presented graphically and discussed. This paper completes the analysis concerning the Newtonian fluids devoleped in [4]. The obtained results indicate that the thickness of the boundary layer decreases when the magnetic field increases. Moreover H0 tends to prevent the occurrence of the reverse flow. By virtue of the numerical integration, the stagnation-point is classified as nodal or saddle point and as attachment or separation point. AMS Subject Classification: 76W05, 76D10

MHD Three-Dimensional Stagnation-Point Flow and Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid over a Stretching Sheet

In this study, the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow in a nanofluid was investigated. The Navier–Stokes equations were reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transform. The similarity equations were solved for three types of nanoparticles: copper, alumina and titania with water as the base fluid, to inve...
