This problem aims to address hydrodynamic Marangoni boundary layer flow of incompressible nanofluid along different shapes of particle like sphere, tetrahedron, column and lamina with exponential temperature. Choosing appropriate transformations, the governing equations are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations and then solved by using a perturbation technique. Impacts in velocity and temperature profiles for the relevant considering parameters namely nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic parameter, empirical shape factor and radiation parameter are evaluated and shown through graphs. Moreover, computational values for influences of physical parameters on local surface heat flux are presented in table.

 A boundary-layer analysis is presented for the natural convec tion boundary layer flow about a sphere embedded in a porous medium filled with a nanofluid using Brinkman-ForchheimerDarcy extended model. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the ef fects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing partial differential equa tions are transformed into a set of nonsimilar equations and solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iterative, finite-difference method. Comparisons with previously published work are performed and excellent agreement is obtained. A parametric study of the physical parameters is conducted and a representative set of numerical results for the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticles volume fraction profiles as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers is illustrated graphically to show interesting features of the solutions.

This paper investigated the problem of hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid over a stretching sheet through a porous medium. The velocity slip was considered instead of the no-slip condition at the boundary. The governing partial equations were reduced into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the suitable similarity transformation. The transformed equations were numerically integrated using bvp4c in Matlab. The effects of various physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles of both phases, such as fluid-particle interaction parameter, magnetic parameter, mass concentration parameter, porosity parameter and Prandtl number were obtained and analyzed through several plots. Useful discussions were carried out with the help of plotted graphs and tables. Under the limiting cases, the obtained numerical results were compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published results.

SummaryAn initial value method is introduced in this paper for the solution of the two-point non-linear ordinary differential equations resulting from an analysis of the MHD boundary-layer flow originally treated by Greenspan and Carrier. By using this method, the iteration process is eliminated. The method is seen to be applicable to the solution of similar two-point boundary value problems where certain physical parameters appear either in the differential equation or in the boundary conditions and solutions for a range of the parameter are sought.

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.

In this work, the effect of dust particles and slips towards boundary layer flow of dusty nanofluid was investigated over the stretching horizontal sheet. Three type of nanoparticles; copper (Cu), aluminium oxide ( ) and titania ( ) were studied. The governing equations of flow and heat transfer were transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. Next, these equations were solved numerically by using the boundary value problem solver, bvp4c program of Matlab software. The effects of non-governing parameters including volume fraction of dust particles, volume fraction of nanoparticles, velocity slip parameter, and thermal slip parameter were computed, analysed, and discussed. Lastly, a comparison of present study with existing literature was performed and achieved excellent agreement. It is found that nanoparticles act as good thermal conductivity. Besides that, and show significant effect on velocity of fluid and dust phase.

This paper considers unsteady, laminar, boundary-layer flow with heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid along a horizontal stretching plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, melting and heat generation or absorption effects. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non-similar equations and solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iterative, finite-difference method. A parametric study illustrating the influence of various physical parameters is performed. Numerical results for the steady-state velocity, temperature and nanoparticles volume fraction profiles as well as the time histories of the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are presented graphically and discussed.

In this article, an analytical solution for a Marangoni mixed convection boundary layer flow is presented. A similarity transform reduces the Navier—Stokes equations to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations, which are solved analytically by means of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results obtained in this study are compared with the numerical results released in the literature. A close agreement of the two sets of results indicates the accuracy of the HAM. The method can obtain an expression that is acceptable for all values of effective parameters and is also able to control the convergence of the solution. The numerical solution of the similarity equations is developed and the results are in good agreement with the analytical results based on the HAM.

This paper explore the Marangoni boundary layer flow in a Casson nano liquid over a stretching sheet. The effect of chemical reaction and uniform heat source/sink are taken into the account. The standard nonlinear system is resolved numerically via Runge-Kutta based shooting scheme. Role of substantial parameters on flow fields as well as on heat and mass transportation rates are determined and conferred in depth through graphs.From the investigation it reveals that, the Marangoni number plays a connecting role between the velocity and temperature gradients on the boundary surface. Further,the higher values of Lewis number and chemical reaction parameter reduces the solutal thermal boundary layer thickness decreases.
