AbstractThe aim of the present analysis is to examine the effects of slip boundary conditions and mixed convection flow of Williamson fluid over a stretching cylinder. The boundary layer partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using group theory transformations. The required ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using implicit finite difference method known as Keller box method. The influence of dimensionless physical parameters on velocity and temperature profile as well as skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are presented graphically. Comparison has been made to the previous literature in order to check the accuracy of the method.

AbstractThe present paper deals with the numerical solution of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Williamson fluid model over a stretching cylinder. The governing partial differential equation of Williamson fluid is converted into an ordinary differential equation using similarity transformations along with boundary layer approach, which is then solved numerically by applying the shooting method in conjunction with Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. The effect of different parameters on velocity profile is thoroughly examined through graphs and tables.

In this paper, we have investigated the peristaltic flow of Williamson fluid in a curved channel. The governing equations of Williamson fluid model for curved channel are derived including the effects of curvature. The highly nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified by using the wave frame transformation, long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The reduced nonlinear partial differential equation is solved analytically with the help of homotopy perturbation method. The physical features of pertinent parameters have been discussed by plotting the graphs of pressure rise, velocity profile and stream functions.

The steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over an exponentially shrinking/stretching sheet is studied. The shrinking/stretching velocity, the free stream velocity, and the surface temperature are assumed to vary in a power-law form with the distance from the stagnation point. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations before being solved numerically by a finite difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed. It is found that dual solutions exist for the shrinking case, while for the stretching case, the solution is unique.

Carreau fluid flows past a stretching cylinder is elucidated in the present study. The transformed self-similarity and dimensionless boundary layer equations are solved by using the Homotopy analysis method. A convergence study of the method is illustrated explicitly. Series solutions of the highly nonlinear differential equations are computed and it is very efficient in demonstrating the characteristic of the Carreau fluid. Validation of the series solutions is achieved via comparing with earlier published results. Those results are obtained by using the Keller-Box method. The effects of the Weissenberg number and curvature parameter on the velocity profiles are discussed by graphs and tabular. The velocity curves have shown different behavior in and for an increase of the Weissenberg number. Further, the curvature parameter K does increase the velocity profiles.
