Multiple Solutions for an Unsteady Stretching Cylinder

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The current study is devoted to investigating the duality of the solution for an unsteady stretching cylinder flow subjected to wall normal suction. It is demonstrated by using numerical methods that the dual solutions exist for various values of the curvature parameter regardless of the presence or absence of wall suction.
