Abstract
We studied equation of continuity and boundary layer thickness. The Blasius and Falkner equations are
studied in order to investigate the guess values in various boundary layer thicknesses, and Falknar-skan
equations shows when velocity profile has a point of inflection in case of accelerated and decelerated.
The solutions of the above mentioned equations are shown graphically. Finally, the thermal boundary
layer equation has been derived from Navier-Stoke equation by boundary layer technique. Boundary
Layer equation has been non-dimensionalised by using non-dimensional variable. The non-dimensional
boundary layer equations are non-linear partial differential equations. These equations are solved by finite
difference method. The effect on the velocity and temperature for the various parameters entering into the
problems are separately discussed and shown graphically. We use Fortran Program for taking Data and
for graphical representation we use TecPlot.
Keywords: Falknar-skan; navier-Stoke; blasius equation; boundary layer; thermal boundary.

1. Introduction
It all started in 1904 at the International Mathematical Congress in Heidelberg, when Ludwig Prandtl give a
lecture entitled “Über Flü ssigkeitsbewegungen bei sehr kleiner Reibung” (English: “On fluid flow with very
little friction”) [1]. He explained that the viscosity of a fluid plays a role in a (very) thin layer adjacent to the
surface, which he called “Uebergangsschicht” or “Grenzschicht”. Translated into English, the latter led to
term boundary layer [2,3]. The boundary layer theory plays a vital role in the variety area of engineering and
scientific applications [4]. With this lecture, the understanding of fluid flow was significantly increased. For
instance, D’Alembert’s paradox, stating that a body placed in a potential flow does not experience a forceclearly in conflict with everyday experience-was resolved. Subsequently, it could be explained, e.g., why
birds and airplanes can fly. The thus far invisible boundary layer was responsible. It plays a vital role in fluid
dynamics and has become a very powerful of analysing the complex behavior of real fluids. The boundary
layer flow due to a shrinking sheet is emerged as an interesting problem in fluid dynamics [5]. The shrinking
sheet flows occur in some practical situations, such as, for rising shrinking balloon and it is very useful in
packaging of bulk products. The drag on ships and missiles, the efficiency of compressor and turbines in jet
engines, the effectiveness of air intakes for ram and turbojets and so on depend on the concept of the
boundary layer and its effects on the main flow. The boundary-layer flow induced by a stretching surface has
been the focus of large area during the last few decades in view of its many applications in the polymer
extrusion, in a melt spinning processes, aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets, glass fiber production, the
cooling and drying of paper and textiles, water pipes, sewer pipes, irrigation channels, blood vessels etc. The
boundary-layer flow of nanofluid over a stretching sheet is a current attractive topic among the researchers
[6]. With solving any equation and depending on the arguments in physical terms, the bounary layer theory
is capable of explaining the difficulties encountered by ideal fluid dynamics [7]. When a real fluid (viscous
fluid) flows past a stationary solid boundary, a layer of fluid which comes in contact with the boundary
surface adheres to it (on account of viscosity) and condition of no slip occurs(The slip no-slip condition
implies that the velocity of fluid at a solid boundary must be same as that of boundary itself). Thus, the layer
of fluid which can’t slip away from the boundary surface undergoes retardation for the adjacent layer of the
fluid, thereby developing a small region in the immediate vicinity of the boundary surface in which the
velocity of the following fluid increases rapidly from zero at the boundary surface and approaches the
velocity of main stream [2]. The layer adjacent to the boundary is known as Boundary Layer. Boundary
Layer is formed whenever there is relative motion between the boundary and the fluid. Since
u
0
y y 0
the fluid exerts a shear stress on the boundary and boundary exerts an equal and opposite
force on the fluid known as the shear resistance [8].
According to boundary layer theory the extensive fluid medium around bodies moving in fluid can be
divided into following two regions:
(i)
(ii)
A thin layer adjoining the boundary called the boundary layer where the viscous shear takes
place.
A flow outside the boundary layer where the flow behaviour is quite like that of an ideal
fluid and the potential theory is applicable [9].
Recntly, many authors are working on 3-D boundary layer flow. Three-dimensional boundary layer flow
transition over rotating disks has been a subject of many studies. These studies are served as the foremost
model problem for the subsequent investigations of the 3-D boundary layer flows over axisymmetric bodies
of revolution [10]. For the Both case theoretically and experimentally, the case of a flow field structure of
the laminar boundary layer flow over rotating spheres has been greatly. The flow visualisation studies led by
the papers are related to the transition of the laminar boundary layer flow over rotating spheres and cones
[11]. The stability and instability of the boundary layer flows on rotating spheres, spheroids, and disks. The
theoretical studies of [12] related to the transition phenomena of the laminar boundary layer flow over
various rotating geometries like disk, sphere and cone were carried out in such a way that the governing
2
Mamtaz et al.; ARJOM, 11(4): 1-15, 2018; Article no.ARJOM.45267
laminar flow equations were first derived using some appropriate coordinate systems for each geometry.
These laminar flow equations are actually a set of simultaneous 3-D nonlinear partial differential equations
and are solved by using advanced numerical methods. Subsequently, the perturbation equations that govern
the transition of the laminar boundary layer are derived for each body. The solutions of the laminar flow
equations are then used in solving the related perturbation equations for each body [10].
The Falkner-Skan equation has been considered in the last 40 years due to its significance in the boundary
layer theory. At the first time the solution of the Falkner-Skan equation has been studied numerically and
solved this equation by the shooting method. A researcher Maksyn solved the Falkner-Skan equation by
analytic approximation. After that, found its solution using finite differences, homotopy analysis and Fourier
series to solve Falkner-Skan equation. An important case is the Blasius equation [11,4]. This problem was
solved by Rosales and Valencia [13] using Fourier series. Mathematician Boyd found the solution of
Falkner-Skan equation by numerical method. An enormous amount of research work has been invested in
the study of nonlinear boundary value problems [4].
2. Experimental Details
The momentum thickness represents the vertical distance that the solid boundary must be displaced upward
so that the ideal fluid has the same mass momentum as the real fluid.

Since the solutions of the governing equations (4)-(5) under the initial (6) and boundary (7) conditions will

we attempt to solve the governing second order nonlinear coupled dimensionless partial differential
equations with the associated initial and boundary conditions. For solving a transient free convection
flow with heat and mass transfer past a semi infinite plate, Callahan and Marner (1976) used the
difference method [15].
From the concept of the above discussion, for simplicity the explicit finite difference method has been
used to solve equations continuity and momentum equation subject to the conditions . To obtain the
difference equations the region of the flow is divided into a grid of lines parallel to

Since the solutions of the governing equations (14)-(16) under the initial (17) and boundary (18) conditions

3. Results and Discussion
3.1 Boundary layer equation and its solution
Our main purpose is to analysis the variation of stressing factor and velocity f . That means if we change
how the nature of velocity in terms of stressing factor will alter,
the values of and suction parameter
that is it will increase or decrease, or it will remain constant.
In Figs. 3 to 4, we show that the velocity profile for different values of at various suction parameter =
3,6,9 respectively. From these figures we conclude that the velocity profile decrease with the increase of
suction parameter.
In Figs. 5 and 7 it is found that the velocity profile is increase with the increase of suction parameter for
values of
= 60,80.
In Figs. 6 and 8 the velocity profile is decrease with the increase of suction parameter for values of
−60, −80
In Figs. 9 to 10, it is said that the velocity profile are same for different values of
= 3,6

In Fig. 11 the velocity profile decreases with the increase of

The main goal of the computation is to obtain the steady state solutions for the non-dimensional velocity U
and temperature T for different values of Prandtl
Pr , Eckert E c , and Grashof number Gr. For this purpose,
computations have been carried out up to time =80. The results of the computations, however, show little
changes in the above mentioned quantities after =50 have been reached. Thus the solution for =80 are
essentially steady state solutions. Along with the steady state solutions the solutions for the transient values
of U andT are shown in Fig. 12-22 for time =10, 50, respectively. The most important fluids are
atmospheric air, water and saltwater. So the results are limited to Pr =0.71 (Prandtl number for air at 20 0 C , Pr
=7.0 (Prandtl number for air at 20 0 C ), and Pr =1.0 (Prandtl number for saltwater). The values of another
parameter Eckert number is chosen arbitrarily. Fig. 11 to Fig. 14 shows the velocity profile for different
values of Grashof number (Gr) at time =10,50. From these figure the velocity profile increase with the
increase of Grashof number. Fig. 15 to 18 shows the velocity and temperature profile for different values of
Prandtl number (Pr) at time =10,50. From these figure the velocity and temperature profile decrease with
the increase of Prandtl number. Fig. 19 to Fig. 22 shows the velocity and temperature profile for different
values of Eckert number (Ec)at time =10,50. From these figure the velocity and temperature profile
increase with the increase of Eckert number(Ec).

In Fig. 11 to Fig 12, we show velocity profiles for different values of Gr at time 10 and 50
respectively. From these figures it is concluded that the velocity profile increases with the increase of
Grashof number.
In Fig. 13 to Fig. 14 show the temperature profiles for different values of Gr at time 10 and
50 respectively. From these figures the temperature profiles decrease with the increase of Grashof

In Fig. 15 to Fig. 16 show the velocity profiles for different values of Pr at time 10 and 50
respectively. From these figures, we show that the velocity profile decrease with the increase of Prandtl

The Thermal Boundary Layer Equation had been derived from Navier-stoke and concentration equation by
boundary layer technique. Boundary Layer equation has been non-dimensionalised by using nondimensional variable. The non-dimensional boundary layer equations are non-linear partial differential

equations. These equations are solved by finite difference method. Finite difference solution of heat and
mass transfer flow is studied to examine the velocity and temperature. The effect on the velocity and
temperature for the various important parameters entering into the problems are separately discussed into the
problem with the help of graphs. Then the results in the form of velocity and temperature distribution are
shown graphically.
