Abstract
The problem of forced convective laminar boundary layer flow of alumina water nanofluid over a flat plate is investigated in the present paper. Both analytical solution (i.e. the local similarity solution) and numerical solution based on finite difference method are obtained for the boundary layer problem in nanofluid convection. The results generated from the local similarity method are compared against those from the finite difference method. Comparison reveals that there is only minor difference between the local similarity solution and numerical solution of finite difference method. Thus, the local similarity method can be directly extended to the boundary layer flow of nanofluid convection over a flat plate.
