An analysis for magnetic dipole with stagnation point flow of micropolar nanofluids is modeled for numerical computation subject to thermophoresis, multi buoyancy, injection/suction, and thermal radiation. The partial derivative is involved in physical consideration, which is transformed to format of ordinary differential form with the aid of similarity functions. The variational finite element procedure is harnessed and coded in Matlab script to obtain the numerical solution of the coupled non-linear ordinary differential problem. The fluid temperature, velocity, tiny particles concentration, and vector of micromotion are studied for two case of buoyancy (assisting 0<λ, and opposing 0>λ) through finite-element scheme. The velocity shows decline against the rising of ferromagnetic interaction parameter (β) (assisting 0<λ and opposing 0>λ), while the inverse behaviour is noted in micro rotation profile. Growing the thermo-phoresis and microrotation parameters receded the rate of heat transfer remarkable, and micromotion and fluid velocity enhance directly against buoyancy ratio. Additionally, the rate of couple stress increased against rising of thermal buoyancy (λ) and boundary concentration (m) in assisting case, but opposing case shows inverse behavior. The finite element scheme convergency was tested by changing the mesh size, and also test the validity with available literature.

Flow of fluids subjected to thermal radiation has enormous application in polymer processing, glass blowing, cooling of nuclear reactant and harvesting solar energy. This paper considers the MHD stagnation point flow of non-Newtonian pseudoplastic Williamson fluid induced by buoyancy in the presence of thermal radiation. A system of nonlinear partial differential equations suitable to describe the MHD stagnation point flow of Williamson fluid over a stretching sheet is formulated and then transformed using similarity variables to boundary value ordinary differential equations. The graphs depicting the effect of thermal radiation parameter, buoyancy and electromagnetic force on the fluid velocity and temperature of the stagnation point flow are given and the results revealed that increase in buoyancy leads to an increase in the overall velocity of the flow but a decrease in the temperature of the flow.

An analysis is made for the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow in a porous medium of an incompressible viscous fluid towards a permeable stretching surface with variable viscosity and thermal radiation. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to be an inverse linear function of the fluid temperature. The stretching velocity  and the surface temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The governing equations for the problem where changed to dimensionless ordinary differential equations using scaling group of transformations. The transformed governing equations in the present study were  solved numerically by using  Rung-Kutta and Shooting method. Favorable comparison with previously published work is performed. A comparison between the analytical and numerical solutions has  been included. The numerical  solutions are presented to illustrate the influence of the various values of the ratio of free stream velocity and stretching velocity, the viscosity variation parameter and the porosity parameter. These effects of the different parameter on the velocity and temperature profiles in the boundary layer as well as the coefficient of heat flux and shearing  stress at the surface are presented graphically to show interesting aspects of the solution.
