| Summary: | In this study, steady two-dimensional flow of a viscoplastic Casson fluid past a stretching surface is considered under the effects of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. Both suction and injection flows situations are considered. The partial differential governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved analytical. Analytical solutions for velocity and temperature are obtained in terms of hypergeometric function and discussed graphically. Moreover, numerical results are also obtained by Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth-order (RKF45) method and compared with the analytical results. The results showed that the injection and suction parameter can be used to control the direction and strength of flow. The effects of Casson parameter on the temperature and velocity are quite opposite. The effects of thermal radiation on the temperature are much more stronger in case of injection. The heat transfer coefficient shows higher value for Casson fluid while for Newtonian fluid is the lowest. |
