This article concentrates on the effect of MHD heat mass transfer on the stagnation point nanofluid flow over a stretching or shrinking sheet with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The flow analysis is disclosed in the neighborhood of stagnation point. Features of heat transport are characterized with Newtonian heating. The homogeneous-heterogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and di...

We consider stagnation point flow away from a wall for creeping flow of dilute polymer solutions. For a simplified flow geometry, we explicitly show that a narrow region of strong polymer extension (a birefringent strand) forms downstream of the stagnation point in the UCM model and extensions, like the FENE-P model. These strands are associated with the existence of an essential singularity in...

An investigation was carried out for swirling flow in a rotating pipe with highly viscous fluid containing micro-bubbles experimentally and numerically. In the numerical analysis, bubble trajectory of each bubble was calculated using resultant numerical flow field solutions. From experimental results, with an aid of the numerical simulation, data were obtained for the location of a stagnation p...

Non-isothermal stagnation-point flow with consideration of thermal radiation is studied numerically. A set of partial differential equations that governing the fluid flow and energy is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations which is solved by Runge-Kutta method with shooting algorithm. Dimensionless wall temperature gradient and temperature boundary layer thickness for differen...

Conclusions A new exact solution to the Navier–Stokes equations for  ow in the vicinity of the forward stagnation streamline on a sphere has been developed. These solutions describe the  owŽ eld all of the way from the body surface to the uniform  ow far from the body, in contrast to the traditional stagnation point solutions and, hence, may be used to obtain solutions for the entire range o...

The classical Hiemenz solution describes incompressible two-dimensional stagnation point flow at a solid wall. We consider an unsteady version of this problem, examining particularly the response close to the wall when the solution at infinity is modulated in time by a periodic factor of specified amplitude and frequency. While this problem has already been tackled in the literature for general...
