Abstract

The theoretical study focuses on the examination of the convective flow of Oldroyd-B fluid with ramped wall velocity and temperature. The fluid is confined on an extended, unbounded vertical plate saturated within the permeable medium. To depict the fluid flow, the coupled partial differential equations are settled by using the Caputo (C) and Caputo Fabrizio (CF) differential time derivatives. The mathematical analysis of the fractionalized models of fluid flow is performed by Laplace transform (LT). The complexity of temperature and velocity profile is explored by numerical inversion algorithms of Stehfest and Tzou. The fractionalized solutions of the temperature and velocity profile have been traced out under fractional and other different parameters considered. The physical impacts of associated parameters are elucidated with the assistance of the graph using the software MATHCAD 15. We noticed the significant influence of the fractional parameter (memory effects) and other parameters on the dynamics of the fluid flow. Shear stress at the wall and Nusselt number also are considered. It’s brought into notice the fractional-order model (CF) is the best fit in describing the memory effects in comparison to the C model. An analysis of the comparison between the solution of velocity and temperature profile for ramped wall temperature and velocity and constant wall temperature and velocity is also performed.
