The effect of electrically conducting fluid flow in an inclined tube with permeable walls and having multiple stenosis through porous medium was studied. The Homotopy Perturbation Method is used to calculate the phenomena of Nanoparticle and temperature of the coupled equations. The solutions have been analyzed on the basis of pressure drop, resistance to the flow and wall shear stress. It is identified that the heights of the stenosis, Thermophoresis parameter, local temperature Grashof number, local nanoparticle Grashof number, Magnetic parameter increases with the resistance to the flow and Brownian motion number, permeability constant decreases with resistance to the flow. It is remarkable that, the resistance to the flow is found increasing for the values of inclination and decreases for the values of . The observation also notes that, the shear stress at the wall is found increasing with the height of the stenosis, Inclination, Thermophoresis parameter, local nanoparticle Grashof number and Permeability constant, but found decreasing with Brownian motion parameter and Magnetic Parameter

The augmented thermal conductivity is significant in betterment of heat transfer behavior of fluids. A number of other physical quantities such as density, viscosity, and specific heat play the key role in fluid flow behavior. Investigators have shown that the nanofluids have not only superior heat conductivity but also have better convective heat transfer capability than the base fluids. In this article, the analysis of three-dimensional Williamson fluid has been carried out under investigation. The fluid flow is taken over a linear porous stretching sheet under the influence of thermal radiation. The transformed system of equations has been solved by homotopy analysis method. The impact of embedded parameters on the fluid flow has shown graphically. The velocity profile in x-direction is decreased with the augmented stretching, Williamson, coefficient of inertia, and porosity parameters. The velocity profile in y-direction is increased with the enlarged stretching parameter, while reduced with the augmented Williamson, coefficient of inertia, and porosity parameters. The temperature profile is increased with the enlarged stretching, radiation, thermophoresis, parameter and Brownian motion parameters, and Biot number while decreased with the increased Prandtl number. The concentration profile is increased with the increased thermophoresis parameter and Biot numbers, while decreased with the enlarged stretching and Brownian motion parameters.

Fluid flow at nanoscopic scales is characterized by the dominance of thermal fluctuations (Brownian motion) versus directed motion. Thus, at variance with Lattice Boltzmann models for macroscopic flows, where statistical fluctuations had to be eliminated as a major cause of inefficiency, at the nanoscale they have to be summoned back. This Chapter illustrates the “nemesis of the fluctuations” and describe the way they have been inserted back within the LB formalism. The result is one of the most active sectors of current Lattice Boltzmann research.

The essence of the present investigation is to reveal the hydrothermal variations of viscoelastic nanofluid flow in a porous medium over a stretchable surface. A higher-order chemical reaction is incorporated with thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Similarity conversions reduce the resulting equations into their dimensionless form and then solved using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF) based shooting procedure. The effects of underlying factors on the flow are discussed through various graphs and tables. Computational results for noteworthy skin friction and heat and mass transport are presented and reviewed with sensible judgment. The study reveals that the fluid velocity reduces with incremental values of the viscoelastic parameter [Formula: see text] and magnetic strength. The temperature reduces for the suction parameter with the existence of stretchable but enhances with thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. Heat transfer rate amplifies for [Formula: see text] but declines for [Formula: see text]. Mass transfer rate increases with the increase in Brownian parameter and Schmidt number. A comparative analysis shows a better agreement with previous results in limiting scenarios.
