Numerical simulation of heat transfer features in oblique stagnation-point flow of Jeffrey fluid

Abstract

This article concentrates on the characteristics of heat transfer in oblique stagnation point flow of Jeffrey fluid deformed by a linear stretchable surface. The surface temperature is higher than that of the ambient fluid. Appropriate transformations are implemented to produce a system of dimensionless equations. Numerical solutions are computed via Keller-Box scheme. Graphical behaviors of numerous physical parameters are illustrated corresponding to velocity and temperature distributions. Numerical data is computed for skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate corresponding to various pertinent parameters. Location of the stagnation point is also computed through graphical analysis. Velocity and temperature distributions decay for higher values of ratio parameter of relaxation to retardation times and Prandtl number respectively.
