Radiative heat transfer analysis of non-Newtonian dusty Casson fluid flow along a complex wavy surface

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this article, numerical solutions are obtained to observe the influence of thermal radiation on Casson particulate suspension flow past a complex isothermal wavy surface. Rosseland diffusion approximation is employed to express the contribution of radiative heat flux over the Casson fluid model. Using coordinate transformations, the two-phase model is converted into a suitable form and then integrated numerically by employing implicit finite-difference method. The numerical results are discussed in detail in terms of shear stress, rate of heat transfer, streamlines, and isotherms. It is found that the rate of heat transfer increases extensively when radiation parameter and mass concentration parameter are penetrated into the mechanism.
