Non-uniqueness solutions for the thin Carreau film flow and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching sheet

Abstract

The present paper probed the problem of thin liquid film flow and heat transfer in the Carreau fluid past a permeable stretching sheet. The similarity transformation reduced the partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations, which was then solved numerically by a collocation method. The influence of the governing parameters towards the model was discussed and presented graphically. The non-uniqueness solutions are observable as the governing parameters vary.
