Abstract

The effect of radiation on the flow near the two-dimensional stagnation point of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting dusty fluid towards stretching sheet is analyzed. Rosseland approximation is used to model the radiative heat transfer. Highly non-linear momentum boundary layer equations and thermal boundary layer equations are converted into similarity equations and then solved numerically using Runge Kutta Fehlberg fourth–fifth order method. The thermal results are analyzed for the situation when stretching boundary is prescribed with surface temperature and prescribed with heat flux. Comparison with previously published work is performed and full agreement is obtained. Variation of physical parameters with the ratio of free stream velocity parameter to stretching sheet parameter have been illustrated graphically and in tabular form to depict special features of the solutions.
