Abstract

The present research is concerned with the influence of Newtonian heating on the stagnation point flow near a stretching surface. Constitutive equations of thixotropic fluids are employed in the development of mathematical problem. The nonlinear problem is computed in series form. Besides this, the effects of embedded parameters of interest in the flow problem are analyzed. Numerical results for physical quantities are presented and examined in the tables.
