The present study deals with the analysis of unsteady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet when the sheet is stretched in its own plane. The velocity and temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance along the sheet. Two equal and opposite forces are impulsively applied along the x-axis so that the sheet is stretched, k...

In this study, an analysis has been performed for heat and mass transfer of a steady laminar boundary-layer flow of a viscous flow past a nonlinearly stretching sheet. Parameters n, Ec, k0, Sc represent the dominance of the nonlinearly effect, viscous effect, radiation effect and mass transfer effect which have presented in governing equations, respectively. The similarity transformation and th...

Motivated by the redrawing of hot glass into thin sheets, we investigate the shape and stability of a thin viscous sheet that is inhomogeneously stretched in an imposed nonuniform temperature field. We first determine the associated base flow by solving the long-time-scale stretching flow of a flat sheet as a function of two dimensionless parameters: the normalized stretching velocity α and a d...

In the present article I would like to stress on the potential research agenda for lasting reforms in the area of computational fluid dynamics. On the theoretical frameworks, I have tried to propose that a scope for lots of research is needed in this area of stretching sheet in fluid dynamics. On the basis of varied problem domains carried out in various researches in the past, I have proposed ...

The present paper investigates the effect of a mathematical model describing the aforementioned process in which the ambient nanofluid in the presence of suction/injection and magnetic field are taken into consideration. The flow is induced by an infinite elastic sheet which is stretched along its own plane. The stretching/shrinking of the sheet is assumed to be proportional to the distance fro...

A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the modelling of steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow and diffusion of chemically reactive species of a viscous and incompressible fluid past a permeable quadratically stretching/ shrinking sheet. Similarity transformation has been used to reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary...

In the present study, a numerical analysis is carried out to investigate unsteady MHD (magneto-hydrodynamic) flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian second grade viscoelastic fluid over an oscillatory stretching sheet. The flow is induced due to an infinite elastic sheet which is stretched oscillatory (back and forth) in its own plane. Effect of viscous dissipation and joule heating are taken...

We present numerical simulations of a film stretching process between two rolls of different temperature and rotational velocity. Film stretching is part of the industrial production of sheet of plastics which takes place after the extrusion process. The goal of the stretching of the sheet material is to rearrange the orientation of the polymer chains. Thus, the final products have more smooth ...
