Numerical simulation of MHD convective nanofluid flow with buoyancy forces over three dimensional exponential stretching surface

Abstract

Current study analyzes the three dimensional magnetic flow over exponential surface with convective boundary conditions. Nanofluid impact has been studied out with applied buoyancy forces. An extended form of Buogiorno’s model has been implemented for two phase of nanofluid flow. This study focuses on transport phenomena on velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration under the influence of Casson fluid parameter β(0.2≤β≤0.6), stretching ratio parameter c(0.1≤c≤0.5), magnetic parameter M0.5≤M≤2.5, thermal Biot number a(0.15≤a≤0.75), Prandtl number Pr(1≤Pr≤9), thermophoresis Nt(0≤Nt≤4), Lewis number Le(0.5≤Le≤1.3), concentration Biot number b(0.1≤b≤0.5) and Brownian motion Nb for precised entries of controlling fluid parameters by following shooting scheme in MATLAB using ODE45 solver. Additionally, results are calculated for skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number and are presented in the tabular form. Moreover, final outcomes are compared with already existing literature and meets convergence criterion in a good manner.
