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.

An axi-symmetric laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid and heat transfer towards a stretching cylinder is presented. Velocity slip is considered instead of the no-slip condition at the boundary. Similarity transformations are used to convert the partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and heat equations into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by the shooting method. It is found that the velocity decreases with increasing the slip parameter. The skin friction as well as the heat transfer rate at the surface is larger for a cylinder compared to those for a flat plate.

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.

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.

 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 presents our recent work on investigating velocity slip boundary conditions’ effects on supersonic flat plate boundary layer flow stability. The velocity-slip boundary conditions are adopted and the flow properties are obtained by solving boundary layer equations. Stability analysis of two such boundary layer flows is performed by using the Linear stability theory. A global method is first utilized to obtain approximate discrete mode values. A local method is then utilized to refine these mode values. All the modes in these two scenarios have been tracked upstream-wisely towards the leading edge and also downstream-wisely. The mode values for the no-slip flows agree well with the corresponding past results in the literature. For flows with slip boundary conditions, a stable and an unstable modes are detected. Mode tracking work is performed and the results illustrate that the resonance phenomenon between the stable and unstable modes is delayed with slip boundary conditions. The enforcement of the slip boundary conditions also shortens the unstable mode region. As to the conventional second mode, flows with slip boundary conditions can be more stable streamwisely when compared with the results for corresponding nonslip flows.
