Abstract

This thesis investigates the nature of the development of two-dimensional laminar nonisothermal flow of an incompressible fluid close to the reversed stagnation-point. Proudman and Johnson (1962) \citeproudman1962boundary first studied the flow and obtained an asymptotic solution by neglecting the viscous terms. This is not practice in neglecting the viscous terms within the total flow field. Viscous terms in this analysis are now included, and two-dimensional nonisothermal reversed stagnation-point flow is investigated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations coupled to energy equation.
