NUMERICAL SOLUTION FOR THE BLASIUS FLOWIN A CASSON FLUID WITH VISCOUS DISSIPATION AND CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Effects of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation on the Blasius flow in a Casson fluid have been investigated. The statements of the problems are given in terms of convective boundary conditions. A numerical solution to the resulting problems is presented. The influences exerted by the involved emerging flow variables are analyzed. A comparison with the previous study is made. It is noticed that the temperatiure increases with an increase in the Eckert number. Moreover, the temperature is also an increasing function of the Biot number.
