Blasius equation describes the viscous flow in a
laminar boundary layer over a flat plate.
9 and 10 illustrate, respectively, the obtained profiles of non-dimensional temperature and vertical velocity, for three different cooling temperature cases, along with the semi-analytical solution of LNCIVP problem, for the corresponding Prandtl number of the air.As it can be seen, the resulting non-dimensional temperature and vertical velocity profiles exhibit clearly a
laminar boundary layer behavior, again confirming the proposed numerical approach.
Consider a steady of two-dimensional
laminar boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible dusty fluid over a semi-infinite surface.
Further, the flow in the
laminar boundary layer is two-dimensional [14],
To reduce friction, a
laminar boundary layer must be maintained as large as possible over the wetted surface.
Rana and Bhargava [31] illustrated the steady,
laminar boundary layer flow due to the nonlinear stretching of a flat surface in a nanofluid.
The most distinctive works of Vajravelu and Hadjinicolaou [9] and Mehmood and Ali [10] are available in the literature describing the heat transfer characteristics in the
laminar boundary layer of a viscous fluid over a linearly stretching continuous surface with variable wall temperature and the incompressible generalized three-dimensional viscous flow with heat transfer analysis in the presence of viscous dissipation generated due to uniform stretching of the plane wall, respectively.
Even for the case of a laminar flow, the exact solution of equations describing the
laminar boundary layer is very difficult to calculate and only few simple problems can straightforward be analysed [1,3].

Configuration B pushes like a hand that is significantly wider than four fingers stuck together because the spacing is approximately the same as the thickness of the
laminar boundary layer that surrounds each finger.
