Abstract
This work focuses on the mixed convection stagnation point flow subject to the convective boundary conditions. Mathematical formulation involves the constitutive equations of thermodynamic second grade fluid. Analysis has been performed when thermal radiation effect is present. Nonlinear flow analysis is computed for the homotopic solutions in the series forms. Behaviors of different arising physical parameters are examined. Numerical values of local Nusselt number are given and analyzed.
Keywords: second grade fluid; mixed convection flow; thermal radiation; convective boundary condition
