Probe of Radiant Flow on Temperature-Dependent Viscosity Models of Differential Type MHD Fluid

الملخص EN

This paper numerically investigates the combined effects of the radiation and MHD on the flow of a viscoelastic Walters’ B liquid fluid model past a porous plate with temperature-dependent variable viscosity.

To study the effects of variable viscosity on the fluid model, the equations of continuity, momentum with magnetohydrodynamic term, and energy with radiation term have been expanded.

To understand the phenomenon, Reynold’s model and Vogel’s model of variable viscosity are also incorporated.

The dimensionless governing equations are two-dimensional coupled and highly nonlinear partial differential equations.

The highly nonlinear PDEs are transferred into ODEs with the assistance of suitable transformations which are solved with the help of numerical techniques, namely, shooting technique coupled with Runge–Kutta method and BVP4c solution method for the numerical solutions of governing nonlinear problems.

Viscosity is considered as a function of temperature.

Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are investigated through tables and graphs in the present probe.

The behavior of emerging parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles is studied with the help of graphs.

For Reynold’s model, we have shrinking stream lines and increasing three-dimensional graphs.

γ and Pr are reduced for both models.
