In this study, a numerical approach was adopted in order to explore the analysis of magneto fluid in the presence of thermal radiation combined with mixed convective and slip conditions. Using the similarity transformation, the axisymmetric three-dimensional boundary layer equations were reduced to a self-similar form. The shooting technique, combined with the Range–Kutta–Fehlberg method, was used to solve the resulting coupled nonlinear momentum and heat transfer equations numerically. When physically interpreting the data, some important observations were made. The novelty of the present study lies in finding help to control the rate of heat transfer and fluid velocity in any industrial manufacturing processes (such as the cooling of metallic plates). The numerical results revealed that the Nusselt number decrease for larger Prandtl number, curvature, and convective parameters. At the same time, the skin friction coefficient was enhanced with an increase in both slip velocity and convective parameter. The effect of emerging physical parameters on velocity and temperature profiles for a nonlinear stretching cylinder has been thoroughly studied and analyzed using plotted graphs and tables.

This study is a comparison of two techniques for simulation of particulate flows on fixed Cartesian grids: Sharp interface Method (SIM) (Udaykumar et al., 2001, 2002, 2003) and a modified version of Immersed Boundary Method (Peskin, 1977) (IBM) known as Smoothed Profile Method (SPM) (Nakayama and Yamamoto, 2005; Luo et. al, 2009). Different cases were studied includes flow over one or two moving and stationary particles. Predictions of the drag coefficient shows that SPM and SIM are very close to the experiments. SIM slightly under-predicts the value of the drag coefficient while SPM has a small over-estimation. Moreover, SPM is more accurate on coarse grids. However, with refinement of the grid SIM approaches the exact values very fast leading to better results on fine grids. Flow pattern and vortex structures of SPM and SIM are almost the same. Both methods are capable of analyzing the wake flow. Unlike SIM, SPM is able to simulate the flow when two particles are in contact. When two particles are in motion and are very close in a way that the two interfaces overlap, SPM shows a repulsion force between two spheres which reduces the accuracy in comparison with SIM. However, SPM can achieve the collision of two particles without problem.
