The mathematical model for the incompressible two-dimensional stagnation flow of a Maxwell fluid towards a shrinking sheet is proposed. The developed equations are used to discuss the problem of being two dimensional in the region of stagnation point over a shrinking sheet. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by first-taking boundary-layer approximations into account and then using the similarity transformations. The obtained equations are then solved by using a successive linearisation method. The influence of the pertinent fluid parameters on the velocity is discussed through the help of graphs.

The problem of steady laminar three-dimensional stagnation-point flow on a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet with second order slip flow model is studied numerically. Similarity transformation has been used to reduce the governing system of nonlinear partial differential equations into the system of ordinary (similarity) differential equations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically using the \texttt{bvp4c} function in MATLAB. Multiple solutions are found for a certain range of the governing parameters. The effects of the governing parameters on the skin friction coefficients and the velocity profiles are presented and discussed. It is found that the second order slip flow model is necessary to predict the flow characteristics accurately.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer stagnation-point flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a stretching/shrinking sheet with the effect of induced magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations via the similarity transformations before they are solved numerically using the “bvp4c” function in MATLAB. Findings It is found that there exist non-unique solutions, namely, dual solutions for a certain range of the stretching/shrinking parameters. The results from the stability analysis showed that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and valid physically, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable. Practical implications This problem is important in the heat transfer field such as electronic cooling, engine cooling, generator cooling, welding, nuclear system cooling, lubrication, thermal storage, solar heating, cooling and heating in buildings, biomedical, drug reduction, heat pipe, space aircrafts and ships with better efficiency than that of nanofluids applicability. The results obtained are very useful for researchers to determine which solution is physically stable, whereby, mathematically more than one solution exist. Originality/value The present results are new and original for the problem of MHD stagnation-point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a hybrid nanofluid, with the effect of induced magnetic field.

The Impact

This article proposes a numerical model to investigate the impact of the radiation effects in the presence of heat generation/absorption and magnetic field on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stagnation point flow over a radially stretching sheet using a Casson nanofluid. The nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the proposed flow problem are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via suitable similarity transformations. The shooting technique and the Adams–Moulton method of fourth order are used to obtain the numerical results via the computational program language FORTRAN. Nanoparticles have unique thermal and electrical properties which can improve heat transfer in nanofluids. The effects of pertinent flow parameters on the nondimensional velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented. Overall, the results show that the heat transfer rate increases for higher values of the radiation parameter in a Casson nanofluid.

The revised Buongiorno’s nanofluid model with the effect of induced magnetic field on steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stagnation-point flow of nanofluid over a stretching or shrinking sheet is investigated. The effects of zero mass flux and suction are taken into account. A similarity transformation with symmetry variables are introduced in order to alter from the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into a nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These governing equations are numerically solved using the bvp4c function in Matlab solver, a very adequate finite difference method. The influences of considered parameters ( P r , M, χ , L e , N b , N t , S, and λ ) on velocity, induced magnetic, temperature, and concentration profiles together with the reduced skin friction and heat transfer rate are discussed. Results from these criterion exposed the existence of dual solutions when magnetic field and suction are applied for a specific range of λ . The stability of the solutions obtained is carried out by performing a stability analysis.

In the present study, an analytical analysis has been carried out to investigate the MHD stagnation-point flow and heat transfer past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation. Similarity transformations have been employed to simplify the momentum and energy equations into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are then solved analytically through BVPh 2.0 Mathematica package based on homotopy analysis method (HAM). Effects of various parameters such as Prandtl number, permeability parameter, magnetic parameter, suction/blowing parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter, radiation parameter and wall temperature exponent on velocity and/or temperature profiles are explored and discussed graphically. Our results have been compared with the available literature and have been found in excellent agreement. This study may have applications in metallurgy industry and aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheet.

The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of a non-uniform heat source/sink on the unsteady stagnation point flow of Carreau fluid past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. The novelty of the flow model was enhanced with additional effects of magnetohydrodynamics, joule heating, and viscous dissipation. The nonlinear partial differential equations were converted into ordinary differential equations with the assistance of appropriate similarity relations and were then tackled by employing the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg technique with the shooting method. The impacts of pertinent parameters on the dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles along with the friction factor and local Nusselt number were extensively discussed by means of graphical depictions and tables. The current results were compared to the previous findings under certain conditions to determine the precision and validity of the present study. The fluid flow velocity of Carreau fluid increased with the value of the magnetic parameter in the case of the first solution, and the opposite behavior was noticed for the second solution. It was seen that temperature of the Carreau fluid expanded with the higher values of unsteadiness and magnetic parameters. It was visualized from multiple branches that the local Nusselt number declined with the Eckert number parameter for both the upper and lower branch.

In the present paper, we consider an incompressible magnetohydrodynamic flow of two-dimensional upper-convected Maxwell fluid over a porous stretching plate with suction and injection. The nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to an ordinary differential equation by the similarity transformations and taking into account the boundary layer approximations. This equation is solved approximately by means of the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). This approach is highly efficient and it controls the convergence of the approximate solutions. Different approximations to the solution are given, showing the exceptionally good agreement between the analytical and numerical solutions of the nonlinear problem. OHAM is very efficient in practice, ensuring a very rapid convergence of the solutions after only one iteration even though it does not need small or large parameters in the governing equation.
