Abstract :The problem considered here is the steady three-dimensional flow of a second grade fluid near the stagnation point of an infinite flat plate moving parallel to itself with constant velocity. The basic equations governing flow and heat transfer are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations by using the appropriate transformations for the velocity components and temperature. These equations have been solved approximately subject to the relevant boundary conditions by employing a numerical technique. The effect of a nondimensional elastic parameter, S, on the velocity field and temperature are carefully examined.Keywords : Second grade fluid, Stagnation point, Viscoelasticity, Boundary layer.
