Laminar boundary layer flow along a stretching cylinder embedded in a porous medium

چکیده
Laminar boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid along a stretching horizontal cylinder embedded in a porous medium is discussed. The governing system of partial differential equations is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations. Mathematics has been used to solve such system after obtaining the missed initial conditions. The obtained results are compared with previously published results in some special cases, and found to be in a good agreement.

Casson Fluid Flow with Variable Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity along Exponentially Stretching Sheet Embedded in a Thermally Stratified Medium with Exponentially Heat Generation
The motion of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity of steady incompressible laminar free convective (MHD) non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a thermally stratified medium are investigated. It is assumed that natural convection is induced by buoyancy and exponentially decaying internal heat generation across the space. The dim...
