Abstract
In this article, two types of problems are investigated. The flow and heat transfer over: (1) a static flat plate (Blasius problem) and (2) a moving flat plate (Sakiadis problem) are considered. Convective boundary conditions are used to formulate the energy equation. Suitable similarity transform has been employed to reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a set of somewhat simpler nonlinear differential equations. These equations are then solved numerically by using sixth order Runge–Kutta method. Influences of different emerging parameters on both the problems are presented graphically coupled with comprehensive discussions.
