Numerical analysis of Williamson fluid flow along an exponentially stretching cylinder

Abstract

The present paper presents a mathematical probe for incompressible steady two-dimensional flow of Williamson fluid along an exponentially stretching cylinder. Derived PDEs for this work are changed into ODEs by adopting right transformations. Then numerical procedure is carried out by Shooting Technique in accordance with the RK-Method of order six. The influence of the Reynold's number and Weissenberg's numbers on the velocity profile is analyzed, and the variation in skin friction coefficient is explored. The results are elaborated upon through graphs and tables. The validity of the results is presented by comparing them with the previous works.
