A Bödewadt boundary layer flow and heat transfer problem in nanofluid was investigated this study for suction/injection as well combined effects of radial stretching disk. Similarity variables were introduced to transform the three-dimensional into a system ordinary differential equations. Moreover, similar viscous fluid, adequate suction is also required so that similarity solutions exist prob...

In the present article, we have examined the two dimensional flow of Williamson fluid model over a stretching sheet. The governing equations of pseudoplastic Williamson fluid are modelled and then simplified by using similarity transformations and boundary layer approach. The reduced equations are then solved analytically with the help of homotopy analysis method. The physical features of the m...

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of a nanofluid over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet is studied. Numerical results are obtained using boundary value problem solver bvp4c in MATLAB for several values of parameters. The numerical results show that dual solutions exist for the shrinking case, while for the stretching case, the solution is unique. A stability analysis is p...

We study the adhesion of an elastic sheet on a rigid spherical substrate. Gauss's Theorema Egregium shows that this operation necessarily generates metric distortions (i.e., stretching) as well as bending. As a result, a large variety of contact patterns ranging from simple disks to complex branched shapes are observed as a function of both geometrical and material properties. We describe these...

A numerical solution is carried out in this paper in order to study the steady laminar flow of a Newtonian electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet. The approach to this numerical solution is based on the idea of stretching the variables of the flow problem. Thereafter, we use the least squares method to minimize the residual of the “defect function”. Subsequently, this approximate...

This study investigates the unsteady flow of Powell-Eyring fluid past an inclined stretching sheet. Unsteadiness in the flow is due to the time-dependence of the stretching velocity and wall temperature. Mathematical analysis is performed in the presence of thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink. The relevant boundary layer equations are reduced into self-similar forms by suitable t...

This paper employs the computational iterative approach known as Spectral Local Linearization Method (SLLM) to analyze Hall effect on MHD flow and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching permeable surface in the presence of thermal radiation and heat source/sink. To demonstrate the reliability of our proposed method, we made comparison with Matlab bvp4c routine technique and excellent agreeme...

This article investigates the influence of cross-diffusion on the viscous fluid flow over a porous sheet stretching exponentially by applying the convective thermal conditions. Velocity slip at the boundary is considered. The numerical solutions to the governing equations are evaluated using successive linearisation procedure and Chebyshev collocation method. It is observed from this study that...

Motivated by simulations of carbon nanocones (see Jordan and Crespi, Phys. Rev. Lett., 2004), we consider a variational plate model for an elastic cone under compression in the direction of the cone symmetry axis. Assuming radial symmetry, and modeling the compression by suitable Dirichlet boundary conditions at the center and the boundary of the sheet, we identify the energy scaling law in the...
