AbstractNumerical solutions of a non-Fickian diffusion equation belonging to a hyperbolic type are presented in one space dimension. The Brownian particle modelled by this diffusion equation is subjected to a symmetric periodic potential whose spatial shape can be varied by a single parameter. We consider a numerical method which consists of applying Laplace transform in time; we then obtain an elliptic diffusion equation which is discretized using a finite difference method. We analyze some aspects of the convergence of the method. Numerical results for particle density, flux and mean-square-displacement (covering both inertial and diffusive regimes) are presented.

The present study is related to the effects of activation energy and thermophoretic diffusion on steady micropolar fluid along with Brownian motion. The activation energy and thermal conductivity of steady micropolar fluid are also discussed. The equation of motion, angular momentum, temperature, concentration, and their boundary conditions are presented for the micropolar fluid. The detail of geometry reveals the effects of several parameters on the parts of the system. The nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and a famous shooting scheme is used to present the numerical solutions. The comparison of the obtained results by the shooting technique and the numerical bvp4c technique is presented. The behavior of local skin friction numbers and couple stress number is tabulated for different parameters, and some figures are plotted to present the different parameters. For uplifting the values of AE for parameter λA, the concentration profile is increased because of the Arrhenius function, and AE increases with the reduction of this function. The increasing values of the parameter of rotation G show the decrement in velocity because of the rotation of the particle of the fluid, so the linear motion decreases. Thermophoresis is responsible for shifting the molecules within the fluid, and due to this, an increment in boundary layer thickness is found, so by a greater value of Nt, the concentration profile decreases and temperature profile goes down.

Convectively heated Jeffrey nanofluid flow in the presence of magnetic field and thermal radiation is investigated from a moving plate. Parameter of Brownian motion from Boungiorno model is the imperative mechanism that contributes to the heat transfer enhancement. Governing equations, consisting of the continuity, momentum, energy and nanoparticle concentrations equations are transformed into dimensionless form by means of the appropriate similarity transformation variables. Numerical results via Runge-Kutta Fehlberg Fourth-Fifth order (RKF45) method are specifically acquired on the impact of physical parameters such as Brownian motion, magnetic parameter, ratio of relaxation to retardation and radiation parameters over the temperature and nanoparticles concentration profiles. Comparison of the present results with existing published studies has validated the accuracy of the numerical solutions. Graphical representation of different magnetic parameters has caused the increment in both temperature and nanoparticles concentration profiles. On the other hand, enhancement of Brownian motion has intensified the temperature but declined the nanoparticles concentration.
