Chelyshkov wavelet-based numerical technique for the solution of Darcy–Forchheimer flow of Erying–Powell radiated dusty fluid over a stretching sheet with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux

Abstract

This article presents the Chelyshkov wavelet-based numerical technique (CWBNT) for the solution of the system of non-linear differential equations arising in the study of Darcy–Forchheimer flow of Erying–Powell radiated dusty fluid over a stretching sheet with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux. Initially, the proposed technique is implemented on the test problem having exact solution. The obtained results are highly accurate in comparison with the solutions obtained by shooting technique based Runge–Kutta Fehlberg 4th–5th order method. The proposed technique is applied to the governing equations of the considered dusty fluid problem. The results obtained for some fixed values of parameters resemble the previously published results. The comparisons validate the method. The flow behavior of dusty fluid is analyzed and the effect of various factors on the velocity and thermal attribute of the dust and fluid phase are studied. It is inferred that the Erying–Powell fluid parameters ε and α have entirely different effects on temperature, velocity profiles, and skin-friction coefficient. The local inertia parameter decreases the velocity and thermal relaxation parameter decreases the temperature. Enhancement in temperature ratio and radiation parameters escalates the temperature and Nusselt number. The proposed technique is simple, reliable, efficient tool to solve the differential equations arising in dusty fluid flow problems.
