Effect of induced magnetic field and linear / non-linear vertical stretching sheet on mixed convection Jeffrey fluid near a stagnation-point flow through a porous medium with suction or injection

Abstract

Abstract The present study deals with the effect of induced magnetic field on mixed convective near a stagnation point flow with linear / non-linear vertical stretching sheet of Jeffrey fluid flow through porous medium in the presence of slip flow regime. The set of governing non-linear coupled partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations, which are then solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order in association with shooting technique in MATLAB. The effects of non-dimensional parameters such as Jeffrey parameter, magnetic force number, magnetic Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, suction/injection parameter, slip velocity parameter, linear or non-linearity parameter, permeability parameter, velocity ratio parameter, Prandtl number, thermal radiation parameter and Eckert number on velocity, induced magnetic field and temperature are presented graphically while the skin friction and local Nusselt number are represented numerically.
