Abstract

This study is focused on the incompressible natural convection boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian fluid. The governing differential equations are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equation by Scaling transformation technique and solved numerically, solution is obtained for particular non-Newtonian Sutterby fluid model. The important physical quantity like velocity and temperature distribution of the Sutterby fluids, local skin friction , Nusselt number  are discussed.
