The effects of anisotropic slip and thermal jump on the three-dimensional stagnation point flow of nanofluid containing microorganisms from a moving surface have been investigated numerically. Anisotropic slip takes place on geometrically striated surfaces and superhydrophobic strips. Zero mass flux of nanoparticles at the surface is applied to achieve practically applicable results. Using appropriate similarity transformations, the transport equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with coupled boundary conditions. Numerical solutions are reported by means of very efficient numerical method provided by the symbolic code Maple. The influences of the emerging parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volumetric fraction, density of motile microorganism profiles, as well as the local skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local density of the motile microorganisms are displayed graphically and illustrated in detail. The computations demonstrate that the skin friction along the x-axis is enhanced with the velocity slip parameter along the y-axis. The converse response is observed for the dimensionless skin friction along the y-axis. The heat transfer rate is increased with greater velocity slip effects but depressed with the thermal slip parameter. The local Nusselt number is increased with Prandtl number and decreased with the thermophoresis parameter. The local density for motile microorganisms is enhanced with velocity slip parameters and depressed with the bioconvection Lewis number, thermophoresis, and Péclet number. Numerical results are validated where possible with published results and excellent correlation is achieved.

A theoretical analysis is performed to study the flow and heat transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a stretching surface with slip velocity at the surface and heat generation (absorption). The transformed equations solved numerically using the Chebyshev spectral method. Numerical results for the velocity, the angular velocity, and the temperature for various values of different parameters are illustrated graphically. Also, the effects of various parameters on the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are given in tabular form and discussed. The results show that the mixed convection parameter has the effect of enhancing both the velocity and the local Nusselt number and suppressing both the local skin-friction coefficient and the temperature. It is found that local skin-friction coefficient increases while the local Nusselt number decreases as the magnetic parameter increases. The results show also that increasing the heat generation parameter leads to a rise in both the velocity and the temperature and a fall in the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number. Furthermore, it is shown that the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number decrease when the slip parameter increases.

Flow And Heat Transfer

The three-dimensional flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet is investigated. Numerical results are obtained using bvp4c in MATLAB. The results show nonunique solutions for the shrinking case. The effects of the stretching/shrinking parameter, suction parameter, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, and Lewis number on the local skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are studied. Suction increases the solution domain. Furthermore, as the sheet is shrunk in thex-direction, suction increases the skin friction coefficient in the same direction while decreasing the skin friction coefficient in they-direction. The local Nusselt number is consistently lower for higher values of thermophoresis parameter and Lewis number. On the other hand, the local Nusselt number increases as the Brownian motion parameter increases.

We examined heat and mass transfer characteristics of mixed convective slip flow over a wedge taking into account the effect of variable transport properties. Unlike other studies, we have utilized non-similar transformation to get the non-similar features of the mixed convective slip flow. For comparison, stream function formulation is used to reduce the governing equation into a convenient form for short- and long-time regimes. We have determined the series solutions by adopting the perturbation techniques. The agreement between the numerical and series solutions is found to be excellent. Numerical solutions reveal that the slip parameters augment the momentum, thermal and concentration boundary layers. The local skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are found to decrease for higher value of slip parameters. For the increasing value of the variable viscosity parameter, the velocity is stronger, but the temperature and concentration lessen. Contrary to this, this parameter diminishes the local skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number. Due to the increase of mass diffusivity parameter, the velocity and concentration significantly increase whereas the temperature remains almost unaffected. Moreover, the mass diffusivity variation parameter leads to an increase in the local skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number, but it reduces the local Sherwood number.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss a stability analysis on Cu-Al2O3/water nanofluid having a radiation and suction impacts over a rotating stretching/shrinking sheet. Design/methodology/approach The partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation and then being solved numerically using built in function in Matlab software (bvp4c). The effects of pertinent parameters on the temperature and velocity profiles together with local Nusselt number and skin friction are reported. Findings Compared to previously published studies, the current work is noticed to be in good deal. The analysis further shows that the non-unique solutions exist for certain shrinking parameter values. Hence, a stability analysis is executed using a linear temporal stability analysis and concluded that the second solution is unstable, while the first solution is stable. The effect of suction parameter is observed to be significant in obtaining the solutions. The improvement of the local skin friction and the decrease of the local Nusselt number on the shrinking surface are observed with the increment of the copper nanoparticle volume fractions. Originality/value The originality of current work is the numerical solutions and stability analysis of hybrid nanofluid in rotating flow. This work has also resulted in producing the non-unique solutions for the shrinking sheet, and a stability analysis has also been executed for this flow showing that the second solution is unstable, while the first solution is stable. This paper is therefore valuable for engineers and scientist to get acquainted with the properties of the flow, its behavior and the way to predict it. The authors admit that all the findings are original and were not published anywhere else.

The present article inspects velocity slip impacts in three-dimensional flow of water based carbon nanotubes because of a stretchable rotating disk. Nanoparticles like single and multi walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are utilized. Graphical outcomes have been acquired for both single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The heat transport system is examined in the presence of thermal convective condition. Proper variables lead to a strong nonlinear standard differential framework. The associated nonlinear framework has been tackled by an optimal homotopic strategy. Diagrams have been plotted so as to examine how the temperature and velocities are influenced by different physical variables. The coefficients of skin friction and Nusselt number have been exhibited graphically. Our results indicate that the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are enhanced for larger values of nanoparticle volume fraction.

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of a nanofluid past a stretching/shrinking sheet with velocity, thermal, and solutal slip boundary conditions is studied. Numerical solutions to the governing equations were obtained using a shooting method. The skin friction coefficient and the local Sherwood number increase as the stretching/shrinking parameter increases. However, the local Nusselt number decreases with increasing the stretching/shrinking parameter. The range of the stretching/shrinking parameter for which the solution exists increases as the velocity slip parameter and the magnetic parameter increase. For the shrinking sheet, the skin friction coefficient increases as the velocity slip parameter and the magnetic parameter increase. For the stretching sheet, it decreases when the velocity slip parameter and the magnetic parameter increase. The local Nusselt number diminishes as the thermal slip parameter increases while the local Sherwood number decreases with increasing the solutal slip parameter. The local Nusselt number is lower for higher values of Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, and thermophoresis parameter.

The intention of the present study is to scrutinize the three-dimensional MHD mixed convection flow of Casson nanofluid over an exponentially stretching sheet using the impacts of Hall and ion slip currents. Moreover, the impacts of thermal radiation and heat source are considered in this study. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of joined nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations, and they are solved numerically employing a spectral relaxation method (SRM). The obtained results are contrasted with existing specific cases, and a reasonable harmony is established. The impacts of noteworthy physical parameters on the velocities, thermal and concentration distributions, skin friction coefficients, local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood number are investigated graphically. It is found that the rise in Casson fluid and magnetic field parameters reduce the velocity profiles along both x− and y− directions while the reverse tendency is observed with an increment in Hall, ion slip, and mixed convection parameters. Moreover, the increase in both radiation and heat source parameters enhances the temperature profile. It is also observed that both the skin friction coefficients reduced with an increase in Casson fluid, Hall, and ion slip parameters. Furthermore, the local Nusselt number enhances with an augment in radiation parameter, whereas the opposite trends of local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are found with an increase in heat source parameter.

The stagnation-point flow and heat transfer toward a stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms with suction are investigated. Using a similarity transformation, the nonlinear system of partial differential equations is converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These resulting equations are solved numerically using a shooting method. The skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, and the local density of the motile microorganisms as well as the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and the density of motile microorganisms profiles are analyzed subject to several parameters of interest, namely suction parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter, Lewis number, Schmidt number, bioconvection Péclet number, and the stretching/shrinking parameter. It is found that dual solutions exist for a certain range of the stretching/shrinking parameter for both shrinking and stretching cases. The results indicate that the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, and the local density of the motile microorganisms increase with suction effect. It is also observed that suction widens the range of the stretching/shrinking parameter for which the solution exists.

Abstract In this paper, we have investigated thermally stratified MHD flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid over an inclined stretching surface in the presence of heat generation/absorption. Similarity solutions for the transformed governing equations are obtained. The reduced equations are solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The influences of various involved parameters on velocity profiles, temperature profiles, local skin friction, and local Nusselt number are discussed. Numerical values of local skin friction and local Nusselt number are computed. The significant outcomes of the study are that the velocity decreases when the radiation parameter $$R_{d}$$ R d is increased while the temperature profile is increased for higher values of radiation parameter $$R_{d}$$ R d in case of opposing flow, moreover, growth in Deborah number $$\beta_{2}$$ β 2 enhance the velocity and momentum boundary layer. The heat transfer rate is decrease due to magnetic strength but increase with the increased values of Prandtl and Deborah numbers. The results of this model are closely matched with the outputs available in the literature.

Exponentially Stretching

The basic theme of this investigation is to analyze heat and mass transport for three-dimensional (3D) stagnation-point flow of nanofluid caused by an exponentially stretched surface when water is treated as base fluid. In this study, we invoked the boundary layer phenomena and suitable similarity transformation of exponential character; as a result, our 3D nonlinear equations of momentum and energy are transmuted into nonlinear and nonhomogeneous differential equations involving ordinary derivatives. Final equations are then puzzled out by applying homotopy analysis technique. Interesting outcomes of aggressing parameters involved in this study, and effecting profiles of temperature field and velocity are explained in detail. Graphical results of involved parameters appearing in considered nanofluid are presented separately. Different aspects of skin friction coefficient as well as Nusselt number are calculated. It is worth mentioning that skin friction (as we go) along x and y-direction is maximal for Cu-water nanofluid and minimal for AL2O3-water nanofluid. Also, the resulting quantity of local Nusselt number came out maximum for Cu-water nanofluid whereas minimum for TiO2-water nanofluid.
