Study of nonlinear quadratic convection on magnetized viscous fluid flow over a non-Darcian circular elastic surface via spectral approach

Abstract

The present work investigates quadratic convection on magnetized viscous fluid flow on a circular elastic surface susceptible to Rosseland nonlinear thermal radiation and the nonlinear Boussinesq approximation. The flow is traversing through a Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer porous material. The energy equation investigates the implications of heat source/sink, Joule heating, and viscous dissipation. Utilizing suitable similarity variables, the hypothesized mathematical modelling is converted into nonlinear systems. Numerical solutions of nonlinear differential equations are computed using the spectral technique, often recognized as the spectral local linearization method (SLLM). The proposed approach SLLM is based on decoupling and linearizing systems of linear equations using a basic linearization process combined with spectral collocation linearization. The computational findings for nondimensional parameters are reported for the velocity and temperature profiles. As a particular case of our investigation, we also perform a comparison with published results.
