| Summary: | The problem of unsteady separated stagnation-point flow in mixed convection is
studied. Only the case of assisting flow is considered here. By employing similarity
transformation, the governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of
ordinary differential equations which are then solved numerically using bvp4c Matlab
program. Comparison with results for the steady-state case from the open literature
shows good agreement; therefore the bvp4c is able to give accurate results. The
effects of governing parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are
presented. |
