Nanoscience can be stated as a superlative way of changing the properties of a working fluid. Heat transmission features during the flow of nanofluids are an imperative rule from the industrial and technological point of view. This article presents a thin film flow of viscous nanofluids over a horizontal rotating disk. The impact of non-linear thermal radiation and a uniform magnetic field is emphasized in this work. The governing equations were transformed and solved by the homotopy analysis method and the ND-Solve technique. Both analytical and numerical results are compared graphically and numerically, and excellent agreement was obtained. Skin friction and the Nusselt number were calculated numerically. It is concluded that the thin film thickness of nanofluids reduces with enhanced values of the magnetic parameter. In addition, the nanofluid temperature was augmented with increasing values of the thermal radiation parameter. The impact of emerging parameters on velocities and temperature profiles were obtainable through graphs and were deliberated on in detail.

Here, we discuss three-dimensional dusty nanofluid thin film flow with nonlinear thermal radiation, where carbon nanotubes flow past an inclined rotating disk with a constant angular velocity of Ω. This novel mathematical model is unique and is discussed here for the first time. Downward draining flow and lateral flow arise due to inclination. The demonstrated geometry is characterized in terms of time-independent continuity, momentum, and energy balance. Similarity transformations convert the partial differential equation into a system of ordinary differential equations. The obtained equations are analyzed numerically using the bvp4c MATLAB function. The thermal field of the dust phase was smaller than that of the nanofluid phase, and this difference was exacerbated by increasing the thermal radiation. To validate the model presented here, it is compared to a previous model; the models showed high concordance.

In this research, the three-dimensional nanofluid thin-film flow of Casson fluid over an inclined steady rotating plane is examined. A thermal radiated nanofluid thin film flow is considered with suction/injection effects. With the help of similarity variables, the partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The obtained ODEs are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM) with the association of MATHEMATICA software. The boundary-layer over an inclined steady rotating plane is plotted and explored in detail for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Also, the surface rate of heat transfer and shear stress are described in detail. The impact of numerous embedded parameters, such as the Schmidt number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoretic parameter, and Casson parameter (Sc, Nb, Nt, γ), etc., were examined on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles, respectively. The essential terms of the Nusselt number and Sherwood number were also examined numerically and physically for the temperature and concentration profiles. It was observed that the radiation source improves the energy transport to enhance the flow motion. The smaller values of the Prandtl number, Pr, augmented the thermal boundary-layer and decreased the flow field. The increasing values of the rotation parameter decreased the thermal boundary layer thickness. These outputs are examined physically and numerically and are also discussed.

The boundary-layer equations for mass and heat energy transfer with entropy generation are analyzed for the two-dimensional viscoelastic second-grade nanofluid thin film flow in the presence of a uniform magnetic field (MHD) over a vertical stretching sheet. Different factors, such as the thermophoresis effect, Brownian motion, and concentration gradients, are considered in the nanofluid model. The basic time-dependent equations of the nanofluid flow are modeled and transformed to the ordinary differential equations system by using similarity variables. Then the reduced system of equations is treated with the Homotopy Analysis Method to achieve the desire goal. The convergence of the method is prescribed by a numerical survey. The results obtained are more efficient than the available results for the boundary-layer equations, which is the beauty of the Homotopy Analysis Method, and shows the consistency, reliability, and accuracy of our obtained results. The effects of various parameters, such as Nusselt number, skin friction, and Sherwood number, on nanoliquid film flow are examined. Tables are displayed for skin friction, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number, which analyze the sheet surface in interaction with the nanofluid flow and other informative characteristics regarding this flow of the nanofluids. The behavior of the local Nusselt number and the entropy generation is examined numerically with the variations in the non-dimensional numbers. These results are shown with the help of graphs and briefly explained in the discussion. An analytical exploration is described for the unsteadiness parameter on the thin film. The larger values of the unsteadiness parameter increase the velocity profile. The nanofluid film velocity shows decline due the increasing values of the magnetic parameter. Moreover, a survey on the physical embedded parameters is given by graphs and discussed in detail.

In the present study, the three-dimensional Darcy–Forchheimer magnetohydrodynamic thin-film nanofluid containing flow over an inclined steady rotating plane is observed. Nanofluid thin-film flows are taken thermally radiated and suction/injection effect is also considered. By similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into a set of first-ordinary differential equations (ODES). By Homotopy Analysis Method, the required ODES is solved. The boundary layer over an inclined steady rotating plane is plotted and observed in detail for the velocity, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] profiles. The influence of various embedded parameters such as variable thickness, [Formula: see text]Pr, and thermophoretic parameter on velocity, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] profile. The influence of many parameters is explained by graphs for the velocity, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. The crucial terms of Nusselt number and Sherwood number have also been observed numerically and physically for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Radiation phenomena is the cause of energy to the liquid system. For more rotation parameters, the thermal boundary-layer thickness is reduced.

The thin film flow of micropolar fluid in a porous medium under the influence of thermophoresis with the heat effect past a stretching plate is analyzed. Micropolar fluid is assumed as a base fluid and the plate is considered to move with a linear velocity and subject to the variation of the reference temperature and concentration. The latitude of flow is limited to being two-dimensional and is steadily affected by sensitive fluid film size with the effect of thermal radiation. The basic equations of fluid flow are changed through the similarity variables into a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations with physical conditions. The suitable transformations for the energy equation is used and the non-dimensional form of the temperature field are different from the published work. The problem is solved by using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The effects of radiation parameter R, vortex-viscosity parameter Δ, permeability parameter Mr, microrotation parameter Gr, Soret number Sr, thermophoretic parameter τ, inertia parameter Nr, Schmidt number Sc, and Prandtl number Pr are shown graphically and discussed.
