Flow past a stretching sheet

This chapter presents the heat or mass transfer characteristics for boundary layer flows past a stretching sheet. Importance and its applications in different fields of engineering and technology are highlighted. We discuss the flow heat or mass transfer characteristics for different types of stretching such as linear, power-law, exponential, unsteady, and curved stretching etc. Variable thermophysical properties are considered. The similarity transformation is used to obtain the self-similar equations that are then solved numerically. Applying a special form of Lie group transformation, similarity solutions are obtained for particular flow and heat transfer problems. Non-Newtonian fluid flow has been considered in this chapter. Flow features near a stagnation point have been also discussed.
