Abstract

The steady two-dimensional non-orthogonal flow near the stagnation point on a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of radiation effects is studied. Using similarity variables, the nonlinear boundary-layer equations are solved analytically by homotopy perturbation method (HPM) employing Padé technique. Comparison between the results of HPM-Padé solution and numerical simulation as well as some other results which are available in the literature, demonstrates a very good agreement between them and the HPM-Padé solution provides a convenient way to control and adjust the convergence region of a system of nonlinear boundary-layer problems with high accurate. The effect of involved parameters such as striking angle, radiation parameter, porosity parameter and the Prandtl number on flow and heat transfer characteristics have been discussed with more details.
