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.

This paper investigates the combined effects of buoyancy forces, homogeneous chemical reaction, thermal radiation, partial slip, heat source, Thermophoresis and Brownian motion on hydromagnetic stagnation point flow of nanofluid with heat and mass transfer over a stretching convective surface. The stretching velocity and the ambient fluid velocity are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. Using similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically by employing by shooting method coupled with Runge–Kutta Fehlberg integration technique. Graphical results showing the effects of various thermophysical parameters on the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, local skin friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are presented and discussed quantitatively.

Unsteady Mixed Convection

A numerical model is developed to examine the effects of thermal radiation on unsteady mixed convection flow of a viscous dissipating incompressible micropolar fluid adjacent to a heated vertical stretching surface in the presence of the buoyancy force and heat generation/absorption. The Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The model contains nonlinear coupled partial differential equations which have been converted into ordinary differential equation by using the similarity transformations. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth fifth-order method with shooting technique. Numerical solutions are then obtained and investigated in detail for different interesting parameters such as the local skin-friction coefficient, wall couple stress, and Nusselt number as well as other parametric values such as the velocity, angular velocity, and temperature.

Wavelet Galerkin Method

We describe a wavelet Galerkin method for numerical solutions of fourth-order linear and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in 2D and 3D based on the use of Daubechies compactly supported wavelets. Two-term connection coefficients have been used to compute higher-order derivatives accurately and economically. Localization and orthogonality properties of wavelets make the global matrix sparse. In particular, these properties reduce the computational cost significantly. Linear system of equations obtained from discretized equations have been solved using GMRES iterative solver. Quasi-linearization technique has been effectively used to handle nonlinear terms arising in nonlinear biharmonic equation. To reduce the computational cost of our method, we have proposed an efficient compression algorithm. Error and stability estimates have been derived. Accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated through various examples.

This paper aims to present the numerical study of a dusty micropolar fluid due to a stretching sheet with constant wall temperature. Using the suitable similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations for two-phase flows of the fluid and the dust particles are reduced to the form of ordinary differential equations. The ordinary differential equations are then numerically analysed using the bvp4c function in the Matlab software. The validity of present numerical results was checked by comparing them with the previous study. The results graphically show the numerical solutions of velocity, temperature and microrotation distributions for several values of the material parameter K, fluid-particle interaction parameter and Prandtl number for both fluid and dust phase. The effect of microrotation is investigated and analysed as well. It is found that the distributions are significantly influenced by the investigated parameters for both phases.

The water-based bioconvection of a nanofluid containing motile gyrotactic micro-organisms (moves under the effects of gravity) over a nonlinear inclined stretching sheet in the presence of a nonuniform magnetic field has been investigated. This regime is encountered in the bio-nanomaterial electroconductive polymeric processing systems currently being considered for third-generation organic solar coatings, anti-fouling marine coatings, etc. Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation along with ohmic dissipation (Joule heating) is considered in the problem. The governing equations of the flow are nonlinear partial differential equations and are converted into ordinary differential equations via similarity transformations. These equations are then solved by the Finite Element Method. The effect of various important parameters on nondimensional velocity, temperature distribution, nanoparticle concentration, the density of motile micro-organisms is analyzed graphically in detail. It is observed from the obtained results that the flow velocity decreases with rising angle of inclination [Formula: see text] while temperature, nanoparticle’s concentration and density of motile micro-organisms increase. The local skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, motile micro-organism’s density number are calculated. It is noticed that increasing the Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter leads to an increase in temperature of fluid which results in a reduction in Nusselt number. On the contrary, the Sherwood number rises with an increase in Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter. Also, interesting features of the flow dynamics are elaborated and new future pathways for extension of the study identified in bio-magneto-nano polymers (BMNPs) for solar coatings.

A system of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations with convective and dispersive terms was modified from Boussinesq-type equations. Through a special formulation, a system of nonlinear partial differential equations was solved alternately and explicitly in time without linearizing the nonlinearity. Coupled compact schemes of sixth order accuracy in space were developed to obtain numerical solutions. Within couple compact schemes, variables and their first and second derivatives were solved altogether. The sixth order accuracy in space is achieved with a memory-saving arrangement of state variables so that the linear system is banded instead of blocked. This facilitates solving very large systems. The efficiency, simplicity, and accuracy make this coupled compact method viable as variational and weighted residual methods. Results were compared with exact solutions which were obtained via devised forcing terms. Error analyses were carried out, and the sixth order convergence in space and second order convergence in time were demonstrated. Long time integration was also studied to show stability and error convergence rates.

AbstractNumerical solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, such as the generalized and extended Burgers-Huxley equations which combine effects of advection, diffusion, dispersion and nonlinear transfer are considered in this paper. Such system can be divided into linear and nonlinear parts, which allow the use of two numerical approaches. Barycentric Jacobi spectral (BJS) method is employed for the spatial discretization, the resulting nonlinear system of ordinary differential equation is advanced with a fourth-order exponential time differencing predictor corrector. Comparative numerical results for the values of options are presented. The proposed method is very elegant from the computational point of view. Numerical computations for a wide variety of problems, show that the present method offers better accuracy and efficiency in comparison with other previous methods. Moreover the method can be applied to a wide class of nonlinear partial differential equations.

A set of three nonlinear partial-differential equations is derived for general finite deformations of a thin membrane. The material that composes the membrane is assumed to be hyperelastic. Its mechanical property is represented by the neo-Hookean strain-energy function. The equations reduce to special cases known in the literature. A fast convergent algorithm is developed. The numerical solutions to the finite-difference approximation of the differential equations are computed iteratively with a trivial initial iterant. As an example, the problem of inflating a rectangular membrane with fixed edges by a uniform pressure applied on one side is presented. The solutions and their convergence are displayed and discussed.

Arrhenius Activation Energy

A local similarity solution of unsteady MHD natural convection heat and mass transfer boundary layer flow past a flat porous plate within the presence of thermal radiation is investigated. The effects of exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions with Arrhenius activation energy on the velocity, temperature, and concentration are also studied in this paper. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by introducing locally similarity transformation (Maleque (2010)). Numerical solutions to the reduced nonlinear similarity equations are then obtained by adopting Runge-Kutta and shooting methods using the Nachtsheim-Swigert iteration technique. The results of the numerical solution are obtained for both steady and unsteady cases then presented graphically in the form of velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Comparison has been made for steady flow () and shows excellent agreement with Bestman (1990), hence encouragement for the use of the present computations.
