Numerical simulation for Darcy–Forchheimer three-dimensional rotating flow of nanofluid with prescribed heat and mass flux conditions

Abstract

Darcy–Forchheimer three-dimensional rotating flow of nanoliquid with prescribed heat and mass flux conditions is addressed. Flow is generated by an exponentially stretchable surface. Thermophoretic diffusion and random motion are employed. Suitable transformations lead to strong nonlinear ordinary differential system. An efficient numerical solver namely NDSolve is used to tackle the governing nonlinear system. Plots have been displayed in order to explore the role of flow parameters on the solutions. Moreover the skin-friction coefficients and heat and mass transfer rates are also plotted and discussed. It is noticed that the effects of porosity parameter and Forchheimer number on temperature field are quite similar. Both temperature and its associated thermal layer thickness are enhanced for larger porosity parameter and Forchheimer number.
