The swirling flow inside a circular elastic tube with expanding and contracting permeable wall in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is studied analytically. The tube is also assumed to be rotating around its axis with an angular velocity. The governing equations for this multidimensional flow are reduced to nonlinear differential equations with similarity transformations. An analytic series solution is obtained by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of physical parameters on various flow characteristics, such as the velocity, skin friction, and pressure variation, have been analysed briefly. The impact of surface expansion/contraction and rotation has been investigated on the internal boundary-layer flow inside the tube of uniform cross-section.

The study of magnetohydrodynamic flow of a nanoparticle suspension under the influence of varied dimensionless parameters has been the focus of research in contemporary times. This work models the effect of magnetic field, heat generation and absorption parameter in a steady, laminar, two-dimensional boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a permeable stretching sheet at a given surface temperature and partial slip. The highly nonlinear governing equations are solved numerically using similarity transformations with suitable boundary conditions and converted to ordinary differential equations. A computational model is setup using FORTRAN, where a relevant Adam’s predictor–corrector method is employed to solve the equations. The impact of the dimensionless parameters, including the Brownian motion, thermophoresis, magnetic field, heat generation and absorption parameters, on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration of fluid flow are analysed systematically.

AbstractIn this work a numerical investigation has been conducted to study the unsteady oscillatory flow of a viscous fluid induced by a swirling disk. The disk stretches radially with the time-based sinusoidal oscillations. The governing equations for the three-dimensional boundary layer-flow are normalized using a suitable set of similarity transformations. The normalized partial differential equations are then solved numerically using a finite difference scheme by altering the semi-infinite domain to a finite domain. The effects of various imperative parameters on the oscillatory flow are discussed with graphs and tables.

The analysis of unsteady tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow past a wedge with injection-suction, because of its beneficial uses, has gained a lot of attention. The present study is mainly concerned with tangent hyperbolic nanofluid (non-Newtonian nanofluid). First, we have converted the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. Boundary conditions are also transformed by utilizing suitable similarity transformation. Now, for the obtained ODEs, we have used the numerical technique bvp 4 c and investigated the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The accuracy of the flow model is validated by applying MAPLE d-solve command having good agreement while comparing the numerical results obtained by bvp4c for both suction and injection cases. The effects of distinct dimensionless parameters on the various profiles are being analyzed. The novel features such as thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also discussed to investigate the characteristics of heat and mass transfer. Graphical representation of the impact of varying parameters and the solution method for the abovementioned model is thoroughly discussed. It was observed that suction or injection can play a key role in controlling boundary layer flow and brings stability in the flow. It was also noticed that by increasing the Darcy number, velocity profile increases in both injection-suction cases.

In the fields of fluid dynamics and mechanical engineering, most nanofluids are generally not linear in character, and the fractional order model is the most suitable model for representing such phenomena rather than other traditional approaches. The forced convection fractional order boundary layer flow comprising single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiple-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with variable wall temperatures passing over a needle was examined. The numerical solutions for the similarity equations were obtained for the integer and fractional values by applying the Adams-type predictor corrector method. A comparison of the SWCNTs and MWCNTs for the classical and fractional schemes was investigated. The classical and fractional order impact of the physical parameters such as skin fraction and Nusselt number are presented physically and numerically. It was observed that the impact of the physical parameters over the momentum and thermal boundary layers in the classical model were limited; however, while utilizing the fractional model, the impact of the parameters varied at different intervals.

The unsteady flow of nanoliquid film over a flexible surface has been inspected. Water and ethylene glycol are used as the base liquids for the graphene oxide platelets. The comparison of two sorts of nanoliquids has been used for heat transfer enhancement applications. The thickness of the nanoliquid film is kept as a variable. The governing equations for the flow problem have been altered into the set of nonlinear differential equations. The BVP 2.0 package has been used for the solution of the problem. The sum of the square residual error has been calculated up to the 10th order approximations. It has been observed that the graphene oxide ethylene glycol based nanofluid (GO-EG) is more efficient for heat transfer enhancement as compared to the graphene oxide water based nanofluid (GO-W). The impact of the physical parameters has been plotted and discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to investogate the ectromagnetic and micropolar properties on biviscosity fluid flow with heat and mass transfer through a non-Darcy porous medium. Morever, The heat source, viscous dissipation, thermal diffusion and chemical reaction are taken into consideration. The system of non linear equations which govern the motion is transformed into ordinary differential equations by using a suitable similarity transformations. These equations are solved by making use of Rung–Kutta–Merson method in a shooting and matching technique. The numerical solutions of the velocity, microtation velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained as a functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover the effects of these parameters on these solutions are discussed numerically and depicted graphically. It is found that the microtation velocity increases or deceases as the electric parameter, Hartman parameter and the microrotation parameter increase. Morever, the temperature increases as Forschheimer number, Eckert number increase.

Abstract The steady laminar incompressible viscous magneto hydrodynamic boundary layer flow of an Eyring- Powell fluid over a nonlinear stretching flat surface in a nanofluid with slip condition and heat transfer through melting effect has been investigated numerically. The resulting nonlinear governing partial differential equations with associated boundary conditions of the problem have been formulated and transformed into a non-similar form. The resultant equations are then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with the shooting technique. The physical significance of different parameters on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles is discussed through graphical illustrations. The impact of physical parameters on the local skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer is shown in tabulated form.

This work explores the heat transfer flow characteristics of an incompressible non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid over a stretching/shrinking surface with thermal radiation and heat source. The sheet is linearly stretched in the presence of a transverse magnetic field with convective boundary conditions. Appropriate similarity variables are used to transform the basic governing equations (PDEs) into ODEs. The resulting equations are solved by utilizing MATLAB bvp4c. The impact of distinctive physical parameters and dimensionless numbers on the flow field and heat transfer is analysed graphically. It is noticed that the measure of heat raised with increasing the Biot number and opposite effect with the rise of the suction parameter.

An improved numerical study on mixed convection from a heated vertical plate embedded in a Newtonian fluid saturated sparsely packed porous medium is undertaken by considering the variation of permeability, porosity and thermal conductivity. The boundary layer flow in the porous medium is governed by Lapwood – Forchheimer – Brinkman extended Darcy model. Similarity transformations are employed and the resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using shooting algorithm with Runge – Kutta – Fehlberg integration scheme to obtain velocity and temperature distributions. Besides, skin friction and Nusselt number are also computed for various physical parameters governing the problem under consideration. It is found that the inertial parameter has a significant influence in decreasing the flow field, whereas its influence is reversed on the rate of heat transfer for all values of permeability considered. Further, the obtained results under the limiting conditions were found to be in good agreement with the existing ones.
