Numerical Analysis of Thermal Radiative Maxwell Nanofluid Flow Over-Stretching Porous Rotating Disk

Abstract

The fluid flow over a rotating disk is critically important due to its application in a broad spectrum of industries and engineering and scientific fields. In this article, the traditional swirling flow of Von Karman is optimized for Maxwell fluid over a porous spinning disc with a consistent suction/injection effect. Buongiorno’s model, which incorporates the effect of both thermophoresis and Brownian motion, describes the Maxwell nanofluid nature. The dimensionless system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has been diminished from the system of modeled equations through a proper transformation framework. Which is numerically computed with the bvp4c method and for validity purposes, the results are compared with the RK4 technique. The effect of mathematical abstractions on velocity, energy, concentration, and magnetic power is sketched and debated. It is perceived that the mass transmission significantly rises with the thermophoresis parameter, while the velocities in angular and radial directions are reducing with enlarging of the viscosity parameter. Further, the influences of thermal radiation Rd and Brownian motion parameters are particularly more valuable to enhance fluid temperature. The fluid velocity is reduced by the action of suction effects. The suction effect grips the fluid particles towards the pores of the disk, which causes the momentum boundary layer reduction.
