Abstract

The two dimensional fluid flow problem along a flat plate with variable suction has been considered. Expressions for the velocity and the skin-friction have been derived in two cases. It has been concluded that the velocity field is increased by increasing the suction velocity and there is no back flow near the wall in either of the cases.
