Aspects of parabolic motion of MHD fluid flow past a vertical porous plate with cross‐diffusion effects

Abstract

AbstractIn the presence of Soret and Dufour effects, a numerical analysis is performed for an unstable magnetohydrodynamics convective flow of parabolic motion with variable temperature and concentration. The finite‐difference method is used to solve the set of nondimensional governing equations with boundary conditions numerically. Graphs are used to investigate the effect of various physical characteristics on flow quantities. Variations in skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are also examined using tables for physical curiosity. This study is unique in that it takes into account changeable temperature as well as concentration with Soret and Dufour effects. The magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, heat source, radiation parameter, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction parameter show a significant increase in skin friction, whereas the Grashof number, modified Grashof number, permeability parameter, radiation absorption parameter, Dufour number, and Soret number show the opposite trend. As the Soret number rises, the concentration rises as well, whereas the opposite is true for the Schmidt number and the chemical reaction parameter. The current study is highly supported by previously published data that have been verified.
