In this study, the MHD effect on boundary layer rotating flow of a nanofluid is investigated for the multiple branches case. The main focus of current research is to examine flow characteristics on a nonlinear permeable shrinking sheet. Moreover, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of the problem considered are reduced into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the appropriate similarity transformation.  Numerical results based on the plotted graphs are gotten by solving ODEs with help of the three-stage Labatto IIIA method in bvp4c solver in MATLAB. To confirm numerical outcomes, current results are compared with previously available outcomes and found in good agreement. Skin friction coefficients, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, velocity profiles, temperature profiles, and concentration profiles are examined. The results show that dual (no) branches exist in certain ranges of the suction parameter i.e., SSc (SSc). Further, profiles of velocity decrease for rising values of Hartmann number in the upper branch, while reverse trend has been noticed in a lower branch. Profiles of temperature and concentration enhance for the increasing values of thermophoresis in both branches. stability analysis of the branches is also done and noticed that upper branch is a stable branch from both branches. Finally, it is noted that the stable branch has symmetrical behavior with regard to the parameter of rotation.

In this analysis, we aim to examine the heat transfer and flow characteristics of a copper-aluminum/water hybrid nanofluid in the presence of viscous dissipation, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), and porous medium effect over the shrinking sheet. The governing equations of the fluid model have been acquired by employment of the model of Tiwari and Das, with additional properties of the hybrid nanofluid. The system of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been converted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by adopting the exponential similarity transformation. Similarity transformation is an essential class of phenomenon where the symmetry of the scale helps to reduce the number of independent variables. Note that ODE solutions demonstrate the PDEs symmetrical behavior for the velocity and temperature profiles. With BVP4C solver in the MATLAB program, the system of resulting equations has been solved. We have compared the present results with the published results and found in excellent agreements. The findings of the analysis are also displayed and discussed in depth graphically and numerically. It is discovered that two solutions occur in definite ranges of suction and magnetic parameters. Dual (no) similarity solutions can be found in the range of Sc≤S and Mc≤M (Sc>S and Mc>M). By performing stability analysis, the smallest values of eigenvalue are obtained, suggesting that a stable solution is the first one. Furthermore, the graph of the smallest eigenvalue shows symmetrical behavior. By enhancing the Eckert number values the temperature of the fluid is raised.

An analysis is carried out to theoretically investigate the unsteady three dimensional stagnation-point of a viscous flow over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing system of nonlinear partial differential equations to a set of nonlinear ordinary (similarity) differential equations, which are then solved numerically using the \texttt{bvp4c} function in MATLAB. Results show that multiple solutions exist for a certain range of unsteadiness and stretching/shrinking parameters. The effects of the governing parameters on the skin friction coefficients and the velocity profiles are presented and discussed.

The study of hybrid nanofluid and its thermophysical properties is emerging since the early of 2000s and the purpose of this paper is to investigate the flow of hybrid nanofluid over a permeable Darcy porous medium with slip, radiation and shrinking sheet. Here, the hybrid nanofluid consists of Cu/water as the base nanofluid and Al2O3–Cu/water works as the two distinct fluids. The governing ordinary differential equations (ODEs) obtained in this study are converted from a series of partial differential equations (PDEs) by the appropriate use of similarity transformation. Two methods of shooting and bvp4c function are applied to solve the involving physical parameters over the hybrid nanofluid flow. From this study, we conclude that the non-uniqueness of solutions exists through a range of the shrinking parameter, which produces the problem of finding a bigger solution than any other between the upper and lower branches. From the analysis, one can observe the increment of heat transfer rate in hybrid nanofluid versus the traditional nanofluid. The results obtained by the stability of solutions prove that the upper solution (first branch) is stable and the lower solution (second branch) is not stable.

This article addresses MHD nanofluid flow induced by stretched surface. Heat transport features are elaborated by implementing double diffusive stratification. Chemically reactive species is implemented in order to explore the properties of nanofluid through Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Activation energy concept is utilized for nano liquid. Further zero mass flux is assumed at the sheet’s surface for better and high accuracy of the out-turn. Trasnformations are used to reconstruct the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Homotopy analysis method is utilized to obtain the solution. Physical features like flow, heat and mass are elaborated through graphs. Thermal stratified parameter reduces the temperature as well as concentration profile. Also decay in concentration field is noticed for larger reaction rate parameter. Both temperature and concentration grows for Thermophoresis parameter. To check the heat transfer rate, graphical exposition of Nusselt number are also discussed and interpret. It is noticed that amount of heat transfer decreases with the increment in Hartmann number. Numerical results shows that drag force increased for enlarged Hartmann number.

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.

The effects of viscous dissipation on the boundary layer flow of hybrid nanofluids have been investigated. This study presents the mathematical modelling of steady two dimensional boundary layer flow of Cu-TiO2 hybrid nanofluid. In this research, the surface of the model is stretched and shrunk at the specific values of stretching/shrinking parameter. The governing partial differential equations of the hybrid nanofluid are reduced to the ordinary differential equations with the employment of the appropriate similarity transformations. Then, Matlab software is used to generate the numerical and graphical results by implementing the bvp4c function. Subsequently, dual solutions are acquired through the exact guessing values. It is observed that the second solution adhere to less stableness than first solution after performing the stability analysis test. The existence of viscous dissipation in this model is dramatically brought down the rate of heat transfer. Besides, the effects of the suction and nanoparticles concentration also have been highlighted. An increment in the suction parameter enhances the magnitude of the reduced skin friction coefficient while the augmentation of concentration of copper and titanium oxide nanoparticles show different modes.

The focus of the present paper is to analyze the shape effect of gold (Au) nanoparticles on squeezing nanofluid flow and heat transfer between parallel plates. The different shapes of nanoparticles, namely, column, sphere, hexahedron, tetrahedron, and lamina, have been examined using water as base fluid. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by suitable transformations. As a result, nonlinear boundary value ordinary differential equations are tackled analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and convergence of the series solution is ensured. The effects of various parameters such as solid volume fraction, thermal radiation, Reynolds number, magnetic field, Eckert number, suction parameter, and shape factor on velocity and temperature profiles are plotted in graphical form. For various values of involved parameters, Nusselt number is analyzed in graphical form. The obtained results demonstrate that the rate of heat transfer is maximum for lamina shape nanoparticles and the sphere shape of nanoparticles has performed a considerable role in temperature distribution as compared to other shapes of nanoparticles.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the boundary layer problem for the case of two-dimensional flow of dusty fluid over a shrinking surface in the presence of the fluid suction at the surface. Design/methodology/approach The governing equations of the problem are reduced to the system of ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformation and then solved using the bvp4c method in the Matlab software. Findings The effects of the drag coefficient parameter L, the fluid–particle interaction parameter δ, the suction parameter s and the particle loading parameter ω on the flow of the permeable shrinking sheet are investigated. It is found that the aforementioned parameters have different effects in the shrinking sheet flow. This study has also succeeded in discovering the second solution, and through the stability analysis, it is suggested that the solution is unstable and not physically realizable in practice. Practical implications The current findings add to a growing body of literature on the boundary layer problem in the dusty fluid. The dusty fluid is significant in various practical applications such as in the transporting suspended powdered materials through pipes, propulsion and combustion in rockets, the flow of blood in arteries, wastewater treatment and as corrosive particles in engine oil flow. Originality/value Even though the dusty fluid problem has been extensively studied in the flow of the stretching sheet, limited findings can be found over a shrinking flow. In fact, this is the first study to discover the second solution in the dusty fluid problem.

This study presents the magnetized hybrid nanofluid flow with heat source/sink over an exponentially stretching/shrinking sheet. Slip conditions are implemented to analyze the hybrid nanofluid flow for both slip and no-slip conditions. Additionally, the hybrid nanofluid of alumina and copper (hybrid nanoparticles) with blood (base fluid) has been considered and discussed with both suction and injection parameters. The appropriate similarity variables are used to convert partial differential equations (PDEs) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and solved analytically with the help of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impact of different embedded parameters has been shown in the form of graphs and tables. The numerical values of skin friction and Nusselt number are presented in the form of Tables for both slip and no-slip cases. It is summarized that the upsurge of the velocity slip parameter and magnetic parameter increases the skin friction, while the rising of the thermal slip parameter and heat generation parameter decreases the Nusselt number.
