| description | The problem of mixed convection stagnation-point flow of a viscous and incompressible
fluid towards a stretching vertical sheet with prescribed surface heat flux is considered. The governing
partial differential equations are first transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations,
before being solved numerically by a finite-difference scheme known as Keller-box method. The
features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for different values of the governing parameters
are analyzed and discussed. Both assisting and opposing flows are considered. The results indicate that
dual solutions exist for the opposing flow, whereas for the assisting flow, the solution is unique. |
