Mixed convection radiative flow of maxwell fluid near a stagnation point with convective condition

Abstract

Effects of thermal radiation in mixed convection stagnation point flow over a moving surface subject to convective boundary conditions is addressed. Mathematical modeling is based upon constitutive equations of an incompressible Maxwell fluid. Nonlinear analysis is presented through implementation of homotopy analysis method. Numerical values of Local Nusselt number is computed and analyzed. © 2013 The Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, R.O.C.
