Abstract
The problem of compressible boundary-layer laminar flow of a particulate suspension over a semi-infinite flat plate is solved numerically using the finite-difference methodology. The mathematical model employed includes such effects as particle-phase viscous stresses, variable position-dependent particle slip coefficient, and general power-law viscosity-temperature and thermal conductivity-temperature relations. Graphical results for the displacement thicknesses, skin-friction coefficients, and the wall heat transfer coefficient for both the fluid and particle phases are presented and discussed in detail. In addition, a parametric study is performed to illustrate the influence of the particle to fluid viscosity ratio on the flow properties.
