Stretching a Curved Surface in a Viscous Fluid

Abstract: This work is concerned with the viscous flow due to a curved stretching sheet. The similarity solution of the problem is obtained numerically by a shooting method using the Runge-Kutta algorithm. The physical quantities of interest like the fluid velocity and skin friction coefficient are obtained and discussed under the influence of dimensionless curvature. It is evident from the results that dimensionless curvature causes an increase in boundary layer thickness and a decrease in the skin friction coefficient. Show more

“…In a series of papers by Sajid et al [19,20] and Abbas et al [21], the Crane's problem [5] was extended to a curved stretching sheet. The authors have analyzed the effects of curvature and found that its presence inside the boundary layer is no more negligible as in the case of a flat stretching sheet.…”

“…The work of Crane was expanded upon by many scholars, like Vajraelu and Roper [36] who investigated the stream of second-grade fluids and stretching sheets. Rosca and Pop [37] and Sajid et al [38] deliberated the vicious unsteady motion due to a shrinking/stretching curved medium. Further research on the liquid stream due to the stretching sheet can be found in several studies [39,40].…”
