The transient two-dimensional natural convective couple stress fluid flow past a semi-infinite vertical flat plate in the presence of first-order homogenous chemical reaction is investigated. The analysis has been carried out by considering the effects of skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The unsteady coupled nonlinear governing flow equations have been solved by applying the Crank–Nicolson implicit finite difference scheme. For the different set physical parameters, graphs are shown and examined. A relevant study with existing results is made in a limiting sense. The transient and steady-state velocity profiles decrease as the chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number, and couple stress parameter increase. The deviations of concentration, temperature, and velocity contours of the couple stress fluid flow are considerably varied in comparison with the Newtonian fluid flow.

AbstractThe study of oscillating flow of a Couple Stress fluid past a permeable sphere is considered. Analytical solution for the flow field in terms of stream function is obtained using modified Bessel functions. The formula for Drag acting on the sphere due external flow is evaluated. Pressure field for the flow region past and inside the sphere is obtained. Effects of physical parameters like couple stress parameter, permeability, frequency and geometric parameters on the drag due to internal and external flows are represented graphically. It is observed that the drag for viscous fluid flow will be less than the case of couple-stress fluid flow and hence couple stress fluids offer resistance for flow.

This article investigates the effects of radiation and heat generation on magnetohydrodynamic( MHD) natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid along a vertically placed flat plate in presence of viscous dissipation and heat conduction. Appropriate transformations were employed to transform governing equations of this flow into dimensionless form and then solved using the implicit finite difference method with Keller box scheme. The resulting numerical solutions of transformed governing equations are presented graphically in terms of velocity profile, temperature distribution, skin friction coefficient and surface temperature and the effects of magnetic parameter (M), radiation parameter (R), Prandtl number (Pr) and heat generation parameter (Q) and viscous dissipation parameter (N) on the flow have been studied with the help of graphs. Keywords: Radiation; Heat Generation Parameter; Viscous Dissipation Parameter; MHD; Finite Difference Method; Vertical Flat Plate.
