ABSTRACT
CFD method has been applied using ANSYS FLUENT for the Blasius and Sakiadis flows over flat plate. The velocity profiles and the wall shear stresses for both flows have been presented and the difference in the local shear stress at the wall has been evaluated. The absolute value of the wall shear stress in Sakiadis flow is greater by 32.35% comparing to Blasius flow. The effect of Reynolds number on both flows in term of the average Nusselt number, the average heat transfer coefficient and the drag coefficient is also calculated. The results of the Nusselt number and heat transfer coefficient are higher in Sakiadis than what was obtained for Blasius flow.
