B-SPLINE COLLOCATION APPROACH TO A BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WITH THERMAL RADIATION PAST A MOVING VERTICAL POROUS PLATE

Abstract

In this paper we examine the velocity and heat transfer in a boundary layer flow with thermal radiation past
a moving vertical porous plate. The nonlinear unsteady momentum and energy equations associated with the flow and
heat transfer are transformed from partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations by using similarity
transformation. The resulting ordinary differential equation is solved numerically using B-Spine Collocation Method.
The results are presented as velocity, temperature, Local wall shear stress and wall heat transfer rate profiles various
values of parameter involving in the problem.
