Non-similar solution for rotating flow over an exponentially stretching surface

Purpose - This paper looks into the rotating flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over an exponentially stretching continuous surface. The flow is governed by non-linear partial differential equations. A non-similar solution is developed after transforming the governing equations using two different numerical techniques namely Keller-box and shooting methods. The influence of the non-dimensional local rotating parameter Omega on the velocity fields and skin friction coefficients is analyzed and discussed. Design/methodology/approach - In this paper, the authors have used the well-known numerical methods, Keller-box and shooting. Findings - It is observed that for the increase in the rotation velocity of the frame there is a reduction in the boundary layer thickness and an increase in the drag force at the surface. Originality/value - The present study is concerned with the boundary layer flow of a rotating viscous fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet. Numerical solutions are found. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first investigation of the topic.
