Abstract An analysis is presented to investigate the effects of thermal radiation on a convective slip flow of an electrically conducting slightly rarefied fluid, having temperature dependent fluid properties, over a wedge with a thermal jump at the surface of the boundary in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The reduced equations are solved numerically using the finite difference code that implements the 3-stage Lobatto IIIa formula for the partitioned Runge-Kutta method. Numerical results for the dimensionless velocity and temperature as well as for the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number are presented through graphs and tables for pertinent parameters to show interesting aspects of the solution.

This article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective heat, and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous, Boussinesq, electrically conducting fluid from a vertical plate in a sparsely packed porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and an nth order homogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and the diffusing species numerically. In this investigation, the fluid and porous properties like thermal and solutal diffusivity, permeability and porosity are all considered to be vary. The governing non-linear PDE's for the fluid flow are derived and transformed into a system of ODE's using an appropriate similarity transformation. The resultant equations are solved numerically using shooting technique and Runge-Kutta integral scheme with the help of Newton-Raphson algorithm in order to know the characteristics of the fluid for various non-dimensional parameters which are controlling the physical system graphically. The results of the numerical scheme are validated and a numerical comparison has been made with the available literature in the absence of some parameters and found that in good agreement.

Aim of the paper is to investigate effects of ohmic heating and viscous dissipation on steady flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a stretching non-conducting isothermal sheet. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order with shooting technique. The velocity and temperature distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. Skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically, and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are compared with earlier results and presented through tables.

Abstract A theoretical study is carried out to obtain an analytical solution of free convective heat transfer for the flow of a polar fluid through a porous medium with variable permeability bounded by a semi-infinite vertical plate in a slip flow regime. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous surface. The free stream velocity follows an exponentially decreasing small perturbation law. Using the approximate method the expressions for the velocity, microrotation, and temperature are obtained. Further, the results of the skin friction coefficient, the couple stress coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the wall are presented with various values of fluid properties and flow conditions.

The present paper deals with a steady two-dimensional laminar flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a shrinking sheet in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field with viscous dissipation. Using suitable similarity transformations the governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically by fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. Results for velocity and temperature profiles for different values of the governing parameters have been discussed in detail with graphical representation. The numerical evaluation of skin friction and Nusselt number are also given in this paper.

Investigations are made of the wave motion which arises near resonance in a tube with an applied transverse magnetic field filled with a highly electrically conducting gas and closed by two rigid walls. The wave motion is driven by the sinusoidal radiative flux emitted by one of the walls as a consequence of its oscillatory temperature; the other wall is taken to be a perfect reflector of thermal radiation. The effects of radiative transfer are treated by the use of the differential approximation. The analysis leads to the same formal governing integral equation for the solution as arises in the ordinary gasdynamic case in the absence of electromagnetic effects. Within a narrow frequency band around resonance the theory predicts the occurrence of magnetogasdynamic shock waves which become dispersed as the thermal radiation is strengthened and may be totally dispersed to leave a continuous, periodic, but not necessarily sinusoidal, wave motion. The effect of the magnetic field is to delay the onset of dispersion.

The present study investigates the impacts of thermal radiation and inclined magnetic field on the Sutterby fluid by capitalizing Cattaneo-Christov heat flux system. The suitable transformations from partial differential equations (PDEs) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are achieved by capitalizing the strength of similarity conversion system. Well known numerical shooting technique is used along with integrated strength Runge Kutta method of fourth order. The proposed results are compared with Lobatto 111A method which strengthen the convergence and accuracy of present fluidic system. The skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are numerically exhibited in tabular form, while the parameter of interests in terms of velocity ratio parameter, power law index, the thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Deborah number, magnetic parameter. Here in this contemporary investigation, the phenomenon of thermal radiation on an inclined magnetic field using Sutterby capitalizing Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model has been discussed. The resulting complex nonlinear ODEs are tackled numerically by utilizing a famous shooting technique with the integrated strength of the Runge-Kutta method of fourth order. The obtained numerical results are compared with the MATLbuilt-in solver bvp4c. The numerical values of the skin friction coefficient and reduced Nusselt number are narrated in tabular form, while some proficient parameters like velocity ratio parameter, power-law index, Deborah number, magnetic parameter, inclined magnetic angle, the thermal radiation parameter, Reynolds number and Prandtl number on the velocity and temperature profiles have been discussed numerically as well as graphically. Outcomes of the proposed research show that by increasing the inclined angle, enhancement is seen in the skin-friction coefficient and reduces the Nusselt number. Moreover, by increasing the Reynolds number, the temperature profile declines initially and then moves upward in the channel. The stability and convergence of the proposed methodolgy in validated through residual errors based different tolerances.

A numerical analysis of unsteady fluid and heat transport of compressible Helium–Xenon binary gas through a rectangular porous channel subjected to a transverse magnetic field is herein presented. The binary gas mixture consists of Helium (He) and Xenon (Xe). In addition, the compressible gas properties are temperature-dependent. The set of governing equations are nondimensionalized via appropriate dimensionless parameters. The dimensionless equations involve a number of dimensionless groups employed for detailed parametric study. Consequently, the set of equations is discretized using a compact finite difference scheme and solved by using the 3rd-order Runge–Kutta method. The model’s computed results are compared with data from past literature, and very favorable agreement is achieved. The results show that the magnetic field, compressibility and variable fluid properties profoundly affect heat and fluid transport. Variations of density with temperature as well as pressure result in an asymmetric mass flow profile. Furthermore, the friction coefficient is greater for the upper wall than for the lower wall due to larger velocity gradients along the top wall.

The paper presents a study of the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid over an accelerating permeable surface with temperature-dependent viscosity, taking into account the effect of thermal radiation and thermal buoyancy in the presence of a magnetic field. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as an inverse linear function of temperature. The governing equations for laminar free convection of fluid are changed to dimensionless ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation. They are solved by a shooting method. The effects of various parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin friction coefficient and wall heat transfer are presented graphically and in tabulated form.
