Abstract EN
The steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid on a moving flat plate in a parallel free stream with variable fluid properties are studied.
Two special cases, namely, constant fluid properties and variable fluid viscosity, are considered.
The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically by a finite-difference scheme known as Keller-box method.
Numerical results for the flow and the thermal fields for both cases are obtained for various values of the free stream parameter and the Prandtl number.
It is found that dual solutions exist for both cases when the fluid and the plate move in the opposite directions.
Moreover, fluid with constant properties shows drag reduction characteristics compared to fluid with variable viscosity.
