Abstract
Abstract Contemporary investigation studies the silent features of the dissipative free convection couple stress fluid flow over a cylinder under the action of magnetic field, thermal radiation and porous medium with chemical reaction effect. Present two-dimensional viscous incompressible physical model is designed based on the considered flow geometry. Present physical problem gives the highly complicated nonlinear coupled partial differential equations (PDE's) which are not amenable to any of the known techniques. Thus, unconditionally stable, most accurate and speed converging with flexible finite difference implicit technique is utilized to simplify the dimensionless flow field equations. It is apparent from the current results that; the velocity profiles are diminished with enhancing values of magnetic field. Temperature profile increases with enhancing values of thermal radiation parameter. Velocity contours deviates away from the wall with enhancing magnetic parameter. Also, the effects of magnetic field, porous medium, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, buoyancy ratio parameter and Eckert number on couple stress flow velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are studied. However, the present study has good number of applications in the various fields of engineering such as; polymer processing, solidification of liquid crystals, colloidal solutions, synovial joints, geophysics, chemical engineering, astrophysics and nuclear reactors etc. Finally, the current solutions are validated with the available results in the literature review and found to be in good agreement.
