A Computational Analysis on Thermo-viscous Steady Flow between Extremely Stretched Impervious Parallel Flat Plates

Resumo

A computational analysis on steady thermo-viscous flow between  extremely stretched impervious parallel flat plates is explored in the current investigation. The governing non-linear coupled differential equations obtained interms of velocity and temperature are reduced to the non-dimensional form. The bvp5c Matlab software tool with collocation techniques has been implemented to solve the resulting fundamental non-dimensional equations governed by the flow. To guarantee accuracy, the solver used an adaptive mesh refinement technique with both absolute and relative tolerances. Mesh independence tests and residual checks were used to confirm numerical convergence. The numerical results obtained are have been shown in form of tables and graphically depicted for numerous physical factor values of viscosity coefficient , constant pressure, temperature gradients, prandtl number, conductivity and thermo stress factor’s. When the numerical findings are compared to previously known analytical data, it is found that both good concurrence and excellent convergence have been attained.
