On the Effectiveness of Uniform Suction or Injection on Two-Dimensional Stagnation-Point Flow Towards a Stretching Surface With Heat Generation

An analysis is made of the steady laminar flow of an incompressible viscous fluid impinging on a permeable stretching surface with heat generation. A uniform suction or injection is applied normal to the plate, which is maintained at a constant temperature. Numerical solution for the governing nonlinear momentum and energy equations is obtained. The effect of the uniform suction/injection velocity, the surface stretching velocity, and the heat generation/absorption coefficient on both the flow and heat transfer is presented and discussed.
