A transient analysis was performed for extinction of the counter flow diffusion flame utilizing the assumptions of inviscid, incompressible, and laminar stagnation-point boundary layer flows. The unsteadiness was induced via linear time variation of the stagnation point velocity gradient. The physical meaning of the middle solution of the quasi-steady theory was clarified. The effects of acceleration and deceleration of the flow were examined and it was found that strong acceleration tends to support the flame up to a small Damkohler number, which implies that the flame strength becomes large for flames under acceleration.

A straight-forward and general finite-difference solution of the boundary layer equations is presented. Several problems are examined for laminar flow conditions. These include velocity and temperature boundary layers over a flat plate, linearly retarded flows and several cases of suction or injection. The results obtained are in excellent agreement with existing accurate solutions. It appears that any kind of steady, two-dimensional boundary layer problem can be solved thus with accuracy and speed.

AbstractThe Prandtl boundary-layer theory is extended for an idealized elastico-viscous liquid. The boundary-layer equations are solved numerically for the case of two-dimensional flow near a stagnation point. It is shown that the main effect of elasticity is to increase the velocity in the boundary layer and also to increase the stress on the solid boundary.

AbstractA symmetry analysis of steady two-dimensional boundary layer stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of viscous incompressible non-Newtonian power-law fluids over a nonlinearly shrinking/stretching sheet with thermal radiation effect is presented. Lie group of continuous symmetry transformations is employed to the boundary layer flow and heat transfer equations, that gives scaling laws and self-similar equations for a special type of shrinking/stretching velocity ($c{x^{1/3}}$) and free-stream straining velocity ($a{x^{1/3}}$) along the axial direction to the sheet. The self-similar equations are solved numerically using very efficient shooting method. For the above nonlinear velocities, the unique self-similar solution is obtained for straining velocity being always less than the shrinking/stretching velocity for Newtonian and non-Newtonian power-law fluids. The thickness of velocity boundary layer becomes thinner with power-law index for shrinking as well as stretching sheet cases. Also, the thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with increasing values the Prandtl number and the radiation parameter.
