Radiation effects in three-dimensional flow over a bi-directional exponentially stretching sheet

Abstract

Analysis is performed to explore the characteristics of non-linear radiation heat transfer in the three-dimensional flow above an exponentially stretching sheet. The temperature is also exponentially distributed across the sheet. Local similarity solutions of the arising differential equations are computed through shooting method with fourth-fifth-order Runge-Kutta integration technique. The results corresponding to different values of temperature exponent parameter A reveal some interesting facts about the temperature distribution. The fluid's temperature is largely influenced with the variations in wall to ambient temperature ratio. The solutions are found in excellent agreement with the existing studies in the literature.
