Boundary layer and heat transfer numerical analysis for the Falkner-Skan wedge flow

This paper presents numerical method to investigate the boundary layer and temperature field associated with the Falkner-Skan boundary layer problem. Numerical results for velocity and temperature of wedge flow are present. The feature of the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed by plotting graphs. Numerical results for the velocity and temperature profiles of the wedge flow are presented graphically for different valuesof the wedge angle and Prandtl number. The effect of Reynolds number, prandtl and pressure gradient on the thickness of dynamic and heat transfer boundary layer,momentum thickness, displacement thickness and drag coefficient are survey. With decreasing pressure at each point along the wedge the thickness of heat transfer and dynamic boundary layer and momentum and displacement thickness decrease
