Friction and heat transfer in an incompressible fluid near a plane stagnation point

In the neighborhood of a plane stagnation point, the flow and heat transfer of an incompressible fluid are studied. In the inner flow region, the velocity and pressure fields are described by the complete Navier-Stokes equations, and the temperature field is described by the complete energy equation. In the outer flow region, a two-term asymptotic solution of the corresponding equations is obtained. The problem is reduced to the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Numerical results are discussed.Moscow. Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 52–65, July–August, 1996.
