Computational analysis of water based Cu - Al2O3/H2O flow over a vertical wedge

Theoretical and numerical investigation of the fluctuating mixed convection of hybrid nanofluid flow over a vertical Riga wedge is considered in this analysis. Two kinds of solid nanoparticles with base fluid at vertical Riga wedge is studied. Thermal and velocity slip impacts on vertical Riga wedge are investigated in the current study. We discussed both the unsteady and steady cases. The water has low thermal conductivity. We added the nanoparticle [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] which increases the thermal conductivity of the base fluid. This phenomena increase the heat transfer rate at the surface Riga plate. Partial differential equations are reduced into an ordinary differential equation by means of dimensionless similarity variables. The resulting ordinary differential equations are further solved through numerical and perturbation methods. Thickness of momentum boundary layer is reduced because of the solid nanoparticle rises in all cases of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]and[Formula: see text]. Our results are more agreeing with the decay results of Bachok et al. and Yacob et al. when rest of the physical parameters dimensions.
