In present study we have considered oblique stagnation point flow of a viscous fluid with heat transfer towards a stretching cylinder. This is presumed that fluid impinges obliquely on the surface of the cylinder. Mathematical model assuming axisymmetric nature of the flow in the cylindrical coordinates is developed. Similarity transformations are employed, and the obtained system of ordinary differential equations is then solved using a hybrid homotopy analysis method. The obtained results are validated by applying Keller-box method. The temperature and velocity profiles are given graphically and are then examined for the effect of related parameters. The results obtained are attuned with existing relevant literature.

This article concentrates on the characteristics of heat transfer in oblique stagnation point flow of Jeffrey fluid deformed by a linear stretchable surface. The surface temperature is higher than that of the ambient fluid. Appropriate transformations are implemented to produce a system of dimensionless equations. Numerical solutions are computed via Keller-Box scheme. Graphical behaviors of numerous physical parameters are illustrated corresponding to velocity and temperature distributions. Numerical data is computed for skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate corresponding to various pertinent parameters. Location of the stagnation point is also computed through graphical analysis. Velocity and temperature distributions decay for higher values of ratio parameter of relaxation to retardation times and Prandtl number respectively.
