FORCED CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW AT A FORWARD STAGNATION POINT WITH NEWTONIAN HEATING
The steady forced convection boundary layer flow near the forward stagnation point of an infinite plane wall generated by Newtonian heating in which the heat transfer from the surface is proportional to the local surface temperature is investigated in this study. The governing partial differential equations are first transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations before they are solved numerically by a finite-difference scheme, namely the Keller box method. Numerical solutions are obtained for a large range of values of the Prandtl number.
