The 3D Carreau fluid flow through a porous and stretching (shrinking) sheet is examined analytically by taking into account the effects of mass transfer, thermal radiation, and Hall current. The model equations, which consist of coupled partial differential equations (PDEs), are simplified to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through appropriate similarity relations. The analytical procedure of HAM (homotopy analysis method) is employed to solve the coupled set of ODEs. The functional dependence of the hydromagnetic 3D Carreau fluid flow on the pertinent parameters are displayed through various plots. It is found that the x-component of velocity gradient (f′(η)) enhances with the higher values of the Hall and shrinking parameters (m,ϱ), while it reduces with magnetic parameter and Weissenberg number (M,We). The y-component of fluid velocity (g(η)) rises with the augmenting values of m and M, while it drops with the augmenting viscous nature of the Carreau fluid associated with the varying Weissenberg number. The fluid temperature θ(η) enhances with the increasing values of radiation parameter (Rd) and Dufour number (Du), while it drops with the rising Prandtl number (Pr). The concentration field (ϕ(η)) augments with the rising Soret number (Sr) while drops with the augmenting Schmidt number (Sc). The variation of the skin friction coefficients (Cfx and Cfz), Nusselt number (Nux) and Sherwood number (Shx) with changing values of these governing parameters are described through different tables. The present and previous published results agreement validates the applied analytical procedure.

The dynamics of the 3-dimensional flow of magnetized Carreau fluid past a paraboloid surface of revolution is studied through thermal radiation and mass transfer analysis. The impacts of Brownian motion and chemical reaction rate are considered on the flow dynamics. The system of nonlinear PDEs are converted to coupled ODEs by employing suitable transformation relations. The developed ODEs are solved by applying the standard procedure of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various interesting parameters on the state variables of the Carreau fluid (velocity components, temperature, concentration, and shear stress) are explained through various graphs and tables. It is found that the horizontal velocity components augment with the rising magnetic parameter and Grashof number values. The fluid temperature augments with the higher values of the pertinent parameters except Prandtl number. The Nusselet number and fluid concentration enhance with the augmenting Brownian motion parameter. The shear stress augments with the rising Grashof number. The agreement of the obtained and published results validate the accuracy of the employed technique.

The development of the mathematical modeling of Casson fluid flow and heat and mass transfer is presented in this paper. The model is subjected to the following physical parameters: shrinking parameter, mixed convection, concentration buoyancy ratio parameter, Soret number, and Dufour number. This model is also subjected to the inclined magnetic field and shrinking sheet at a certain angle projected from the y- and x-axes, respectively. The MATLAB bvp4c program is the main mathematical program that was used to obtain the final numerical solutions for the reduced ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs originate from the governing partial differential equations (PDEs), where the transformation can be achieved by applying similarity transformations. The MATLAB bvp4c program was also implemented to develop stability analysis, where this calculation was executed to recognize the most stable numerical solution. Numerical graphics were made for the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, velocity profile, temperature profile, and concentration profile for certain values of the physical parameters. It is found that all the governed parameters affected the variations of the Casson fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and the profiles of velocity, temperature, and concentration. In addition, a stable solution can be applied to predict the impact of physical parameters on the actual fluid model by using a mathematical fluid model.

The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of a non-uniform heat source/sink on the unsteady stagnation point flow of Carreau fluid past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. The novelty of the flow model was enhanced with additional effects of magnetohydrodynamics, joule heating, and viscous dissipation. The nonlinear partial differential equations were converted into ordinary differential equations with the assistance of appropriate similarity relations and were then tackled by employing the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg technique with the shooting method. The impacts of pertinent parameters on the dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles along with the friction factor and local Nusselt number were extensively discussed by means of graphical depictions and tables. The current results were compared to the previous findings under certain conditions to determine the precision and validity of the present study. The fluid flow velocity of Carreau fluid increased with the value of the magnetic parameter in the case of the first solution, and the opposite behavior was noticed for the second solution. It was seen that temperature of the Carreau fluid expanded with the higher values of unsteadiness and magnetic parameters. It was visualized from multiple branches that the local Nusselt number declined with the Eckert number parameter for both the upper and lower branch.

The motion of non-Newtonian fluid with heat and mass transfer through porous medium past a shrinking plate is discussed. The fluid obeys Casion model, heat generation, viscous dissipation, thermal diffusion and chemical reaction are taken in our considered. The motion is modulated mathematically by a system of non liner partial differential equations which describe the continuity, momentum, heat and mass equations. These system of non linear equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using a suitable transformations. These equations are solved numerically by using Mathematica package. The numerical distributions of the velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained as a functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover the effects of these parameters on these solutions are discussed numerically and illustrated graphically through some figures. It is clear that these parameters play an important role to control the velocity, temperature and concentration of the fluid motion. It?s found that the fluid velocity deceases with the increasing of electric parameter while it increases as the magnetic hartman parameter increases, these results is good agreement with the physical situation. Also, the fluid temperature decreases and increases as the Prandtl number and Eckert number increases respectively. At least the fluid concentration decreases with both of soret and schimdt numbers.

The steady hydromagnetic flow of a viscous, incompressible, perfectly conducting, and heat absorbing fluid past a vertical flat plate under the influence of an aligned magnetic field is studied. The flow is subject to mixed convective heat transfer. The fluid is assumed to have a reasonably high magnetic Prandtl number which causes significant-induced magnetic field effects. Such fluid flows find application in many magnetohydrodynamic devices including MHD power-generation. The effects of viscous dissipation and heat absorption by the fluid are investigated. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a set of nonsimilar partial differential equations which are then solved using a spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). The effects of the important parameters on the fluid velocity, induced magnetic field, fluid temperature and as well as on the coefficient of skin-friction and the Nusselt number are discussed qualitatively.

The flow of conducting Carreau fluid on a permeable stretching/shrinking surface is analytically investigated by considering the thermal radiation, mass transfer, and cross diffusion effects. A uniform external magnetic field is employed which gives rise to Hall current. The nonlinear PDEs are converted to a set of ODEs using similarity transformations. The developed ODEs are solved using the well established mathematical procedure of Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The influence of associated parameters over the state variables of the Carreau fluid are analytically studied and discussed through different graphs. It is found that fluid velocity augments (drops) with the rising power law index and Hall parameter (velocity slip and material parameters). The temperature field increases with the higher Dufour number and radiation parameter values, and decreases with larger Prandtl number. The concentration field augments with the larger Soret number and velocity slip parameter values whereas drops with the rising Schmidt number. The variations in skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed using tables and it is noticed that the mass and heat energy transfer rates are controlled by the varying values of Dufour and Soret parameters. The comparison between present and published work shows complete agreement.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study numerically thermosolutal natural convection within an inclined rectangular cavity in the presence of Soret effect and heat generation. The enclosure is heated and salted from its long sides with constant but different temperatures and concentrations. The study focuses on the effects of three main parameters which are, the Soret parameter (Sr = 0 and –0.5), the internal to external Rayleigh numbers ratio 0 ≤ R ≤ 80 and the cavity inclination γ, varied from 0° (vertical position) to 60°. The combined effects of these parameters on fluid flow and heat and mass transfer characteristics are examined for the external Rayleigh numberRaE = 105, the Prandtl numberPr = 0.71, the buoyancy ratioN = 1, the Lewis numberLe = 2 and the aspect ratio of the cavityA = 2.Design/methodology/approachA hybrid lattice Boltzmann-finite difference method (LBM-FD) was used to tackle the problem under consideration. The LBM with the simple relaxation time was used for the fluid flow in the presence of the gravity force, while the temperature and concentration equations were solved separately using an explicit finite-difference technique at the Boltzmann scale.FindingsThe monocellular nature of the flow, obtained forR = 0 is not destroyed by varying the cavity inclination and the Soret parameter but rather by the increase of the parameter R. The Soret parameter and the cavity inclination become perceptible at high values ofR. The inclinationγ = 60° leads to high mean temperatures compared to the other inclinations. The effect ofRon mean concentration is amplified in the presence of Soret effect but limited in the absence of the latter. The negative Soret parameter combined with high internal heat generation and a relatively high inclination is important when the objective is to maintain the fluid at a high concentration of species. The presence of bicellular flow combined with the important elevation undergone by the fluid temperature, makes both the cold and hot walls playing a cooling role with the most important exchanges taking place at the upper part of these walls. The analysis of the mean mass transfer shows that the increase of the inclination may lead to an increase or a decrease of the mass transfer depending on the range ofR, in the case of Sr = 0. However, for Sr = −0.5, it is observed that the increase ofγis generally accompanied by a reduction of the mass transfer.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, the hybrid LBM-FD was not used before to study such a problem. Combined effect ofRand inclination may be useful in charging the fluid with species when the objective is to maintain high concentrations in the medium.

AbstractAn analysis is carried out to study the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer characteristics of an electrically conducting dusty non-Newtonian fluid, namely, the upper convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a stretching sheet. The stretching velocity and the temperature at the surface are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the origin. Using a similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the model problem are transformed into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations and the equations are solved numerically by a second order finite difference implicit method known as the Keller-box method. Comparisons with the available results in the literature are presented as a special case. The effects of the physical parameters on the fluid velocity, the velocity of the dust particle, the density of the dust particle, the fluid temperature, the dust-phase temperature, the skin friction, and the wall-temperature gradient are presented through tables and graphs. It is observed that, Maxwell fluid reduces the wall-shear stress. Also, the fluid particle interaction reduces the fluid temperature in the boundary layer. Furthermore, the results obtained for the flow and heat transfer characteristics reveal many interesting behaviors that warrant further study on the non-Newtonian fluid flow phenomena, especially the dusty UCM fluid flow phenomena.

AbstractThis study presents the magnetized and non-magnetized Casson fluid flow with gyrotactic microorganisms over a stratified stretching cylinder. The mathematical modeling is presented in the form of partial differential equations and then transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) utilizing suitable similarity transformations. The analytical solution of the transformed ODEs is presented with the help of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence analysis of HAM is also presented by mean of figure. The present analysis consists of five phases. In the first four phases, we have compared our work with previously published investigations while phase five is consists of our new results. The influences of dimensionless factors like a magnetic parameter, thermal radiation, curvature parameter, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, Schmidt number, heat generation, chemical reaction parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Eckert number, and concentration difference parameter on physical quantities of interests and flow profiles are shown through tables and figures. It has been established that with the increasing Casson parameter (i.e. $$\beta \to \infty$$ β → ∞ ), the streamlines become denser which results the increasing behavior in the fluid velocity while on the other hand, the fluid velocity reduces for the existence of Casson parameter (i.e. $$\beta = 1.0$$ β = 1.0 ). Also, the streamlines of stagnation point Casson fluid flow are highly wider for the case of magnetized fluid as equated to non-magnetized fluid. The higher values of bioconvection Lewis number, Peclet number, and microorganisms’ concentration difference parameter reduces the motile density function of microorganisms while an opposite behavior is depicted against density number.

An attempt has been made to study the heat and mass transfer effect in a boundary layer flow through porous medium of an electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid over a shrinking sheet subject to transverse magnetic field in the presence of heat source. Effects of radiation, viscous dissipation, and uniform heat sink on the heat transfer have been considered. The method of solution involves similarity transformation. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations representing momentum, concentration, and nonhomogenous heat equation are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved by applying Kummer’s function. The exact solution of temperature field is obtained for power-law surface temperature (PST) as well as power-law heat flux (PHF) boundary condition. The interaction of magnetic field is proved to be counterproductive in enhancing velocity and concentration distribution, whereas presence of porous matrix reduces the temperature field at all points.
