Abstract This study numerically investigates the effects of thermal radiation on the flow over a black isothermal plate for an optically thin gray micropolar fluid. The flowing medium absorbs and emits radiation, but scattering is not included. The computational results are discussed graphically for several selected flow parameters.

This communication aims to develop the thermal flow model for generalized micropolar nanofluid with insensitive applications of bioconvection, activation energy and nonlinear thermal radiation. The generalized micropolar fluid model is the extension of traditional micropolar fluid model with viscoelastic relations. The viscous nature of non-Newtonian micropolar material can be successfully predicted with help of this model. The motivating idea for considering the motile microorganisms is to control the nanoparticles suspension effectively. The higher order slip relations are incorporated to examine the bio-convective phenomenon. The simplified coupled equations in terms of non-dimensional variables are numerically treated with shooting scheme. The reliable graphical outcomes are presented for flow parameters governed to the transported problem. The flow pattern of each parameter is highlighted in view of viscous nature of micropolar fluid.

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.

The flow field of a 2-D laminar confined impinging slot jet is investigated. Numerical results indicate that there exist two different solutions in some range of geometric and flow parameters. The two steady flow patterns are obtained under identical boundary conditions but only with different initial flow fields. Three different exit boundary conditions are investigated to eliminate artificial effects. The different flow patterns are observed to significantly affect the heat transfer. A flow visualization experiment is carried out to verify the computational results and both flow patterns are observed. The bifurcation mechanism is interpreted and discussed.

AbstractThe principal objective of the present paper is to know the reaction of thermal radiation and the effects of magnetic fields on a viscous dissipative free convection fluid flow past an inclined infinite plate in the presence of an induced magnetic field. The Galerkin finite element technique is applied to solve the nonlinear coupled partial differential equations and effects of thermal radiation and other physical and flow parameters on velocity, induced magnetic field, along with temperature profiles are explained through graphs. It is noticed that as the thermal radiation increases velocity and temperature profiles decrease and the induced magnetic field profiles increases.

AbstractA non-linear analysis has been made to study the unsteady hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. The effects of thermal radiation in the boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet have also been investigated. The system of governing partial differential equations in the boundary layer have reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformation. The resulting non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference scheme. The numerical results concern with the axial velocity, micro-rotation component and temperature profiles as well as local skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the sheet. The study reveals that the unsteady parameter S has an increasing effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.
