Abstract
AbstractThe current study adopts a Bernoulli wavelet technique to explore the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid through a wedge. A nanofluid across a wedge has been investigated for its stable laminar MHD flow, heat, and mass transport characteristics. By choosing worthwhile non‐dimensional parameters, the governing boundary layer equation is reformed into a dimensionless Falkner–Skan equation. The consequent nonlinear equation is addressed via the Bernoulli wavelet method. For a range of different values of the physical parameters, the nature of the boundary layer flow is visually observed. Fluid velocity rises with rise in the values of Casson parameter, wedge parameter, and magnetic parameter. Local wall skin friction increases with increase in wedge parameter and magnetic parameter values. To ensure the accuracy of the findings, local wall skin friction is estimated and tested with other techniques that are already reported in the existing research.
