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...

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...

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...

Submitted: Aug 2, 2013; Accepted: Sep 10, 2013; Published: Sep 15, 2013 Abstract: The objective of this work is to analyze the chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption effects on MHD stagnation-point flow of a nanofluid over a porous stretching sheet. The uniform magnetic field strength B is applied in the direction normal to the flow. A highly nonlinear problem of nanofluid is model...
