Abstract:
Three di~ensional boundary layer equations over horizontal
curvilinear surfaces are treated in this investigation. The main
purpose of this study is to seek the similarity solution under
some restricted condition on external forcing velocitiee.
Depending on the arbitrary choices of curvilinear cordinates with
scalar factors hi' h
2
and h
3 = 1, the nature of the similarity
variables, and the components of the similarity functions are
sought. In order to predict essential flow characteristics, some
numerical results are presented for different values of the
parameters involved in the equations.
