Local Non-Similar Solution of Powell-Eyring Fluid flow over a Vertical Flat Plate

Abstract

Our objective is to obtain the non-similarity solution of non-Newtonian fluid for Powell-Eyring model by a local non-similarity method. Here, free stream velocity is considered in power-law form (=m). The governing equations are transformed using non-similar transformations and derived equations are treated as ordinary differential equations. Non-similar solutions are obtained for different values of power-law index and stream-wise location . Influence of various parameters on velocity and temperature field are presented graphically using MATLAB bvp4c solver
