Stagnation Flow of a Jeffrey Fluid over a Shrinking Sheet

چکیده
The present paper describes the analytical solutions for the steady boundary layer flow of a Jeffrey fluid over a shrinking sheet. The governing equations of motions are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. Two types of problems, namely, (1) two-dimensional stagnation flow towards a shrinking sheet and (2) axisymmetric stagnation flow towards an axisymmetric shrinking sheet, have been discussed. The series solutions of the problems are obtained by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the obtained series solutions are analyzed and discussed in detail through graphs for various parameters of interest.

The mathematical model for the incompressible two-dimensional stagnation flow of a Maxwell fluid towards a shrinking sheet is proposed.

متن کاملStagnation-point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid
An analysis is carried out to study the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of a nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet in its own plane. The stretching/shrinking velocity and the ambient fluid velocity are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The similarity equations are solved numerically for three types of nanoparticles, namely copper, alumina, ...
