Abstract
AbstractNatural convection flow of a non‐Newtonian fluid between two vertical infinite parallel flat plates forms the case study of the present work. Velocity profiles for the Prandtl–Eyring and Powell–Eyring fluid models are obtained through the method of spline collocation.The applicability and reliability of the techniques employed here are discussed in detail with a suggested error estimate and analysis. Accuracy in the successive iterations in the results is of the fourth order. To maintain this accuracy the help of a computer is not required for carrying out the calculation of velocity profiles. Thus the simplicity of the spline collocation technique is demonstrated in its application to flow problems.
