Abstract

The fluid flow outside of a stretching cylinder is studied. The problem is governed by a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation that leads to exact similarity solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. Because of algebraic decay, an exponential transform is used to facilitate numerical integration. Asymptotic solutions for large Reynolds numbers compare well with numerical results. The heat transfer is determined.
