Abstract

In this paper we analyze the effects of free convection for internal heat generation and thermal radiation of an unsteady boundary layer flow over a vertical plate. We have applied free parameter method to obtain possible similarity cases. One of these cases have been investigated analytically and numerically. In this case, the governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta method with shooting technique for better accuracy. The effects of the governing parameters on the flow and thermal fields are investigated numerically and displayed graphically. The skin-friction coefficient, heat transfer coefficient have also been obtained and presented in tabular form.
