Abstract

Abstract

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer analysis of an incompressible viscous fluid for a hyperbolically stretching sheet was presented. The analytical and numerical results were obtained using series expansion method and local nonsimilarity (LNS) methods respectively. Analytical and numerical results for skin friction and Nusselt number were calculated and compared with each other. The significant observation was that the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses decrease as the distance from the leading edge increases. The well known solution of linear stretching was found as the leading order solution for the hyperbolic stretching.
