Abstract

In this work, the unsteady magnetohydrodynamics boundary layer flow and heat transfer of novel generalized Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic nanofluids over a moving plate are investigated. The classical Kelvin–Voigt constitutive relation is generalized to incorporate a time-fractional derivative to characterize the fluid behavior, which is proved to be of significance and physically justified. The newly developed fractional Kelvin–Voigt constitutive correlation and a dual-phase-lagging constitutive equation are applied to the momentum and energy equations, respectively, for a nanofluid model over a moving plate. The formulated integrodifferential velocity and thermal boundary layer equations are solved using the finite difference method together with a fast algorithm, which reduces the consumed central processing unit time significantly. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the influence of the critical parameters on the nanofluid motion and thermal characteristics. Compared to the fractional Maxwell nanofluid model, the velocity boundary layer for the fractional Kelvin–Voigt nanofluid model is thinner. Although the fractional indexes show similar effects on the velocity boundary layer, the impacts of the relaxation parameters are in contrast. This work provides valuable insights into the feasibility of using the fractional Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic model to depict the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids.
