Abstract

Laminar boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid along a stretching horizontal cylinder embedded in a porous medium is discussed. The governing system of partial differential equations is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations. Mathematics has been used to solve such system after obtaining the missed initial conditions. The obtained results are compared with previously published results in some special cases, and found to be in a good agreement.

 

Key words: Laminar flow, boundary layer, stretching cylinder, porous medium.
