Similarity solutions of combined forced and free convective laminar boundary layer flows in curvilinear co-ordinates

Abstract

Combined laminar forced and free convective three dimensional boundary layer flow over a vertical orthogonal curvilinear surface z=o, x > 0, y > 0, hI > 0, hZ > 0, h] = 1 is discussed in different situations. The aim of this study is to look for the similarity solutions under some different conditions on the forcing velocity and temperature difference by which reductions of partial differential equations into ordinary diff~rential equations are possible. The numerical solution of one set of the representative transformed equations for different values of controlling parameters u; -c,r. m, n.and S, are obtained, where hI = hZ = 1.
