Efficient passive GDQLL scrutinization of an advanced steady EMHD mixed convective nanofluid flow problem via Wakif–Buongiorno approach and generalized transport laws

Abstract

Owing to the practical importance of nanofluids and their adjustable thermal capabilities, this study intends to develop a robust generalized differential quadrature local linearization (GDQLL) algorithm for examining realistically the heat and mass aspects of electrically conducting nanofluids during their non-Darcian laminar motion nearby a convectively heating vertical surface of an active electromagnetic actuator (i.e., Riga plate). By invoking Wakif–Buongiorno model and Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximations along with other generalized transport laws (i.e., Cattaneo–Christov and non-Fick’s laws) and Grinberg’s concept, a set of gigantic partial differential equations is stated appropriately in the sense of the boundary layer approximations for describing exhaustively the present EMHD mixed convective nonhomogeneous flow under the passive control strategy of nanoparticles within the nanofluidic medium. Operationally, the dimensionless differential forms of the governing boundary equations are derived properly by introducing reasonable mathematical adjustments into the preliminary formulation. In this case, the differential complexity of the leading differential structure is reduced to a nonlinear coupled system of ordinary differential equations, whose discrete numerical solutions are computed perfectly via a well-structured GDQLL algorithm. As foremost outcomes, it is demonstrated that the nanofluid motion and its surface thermal enhancement rate can be reinforced significantly through the thermal strengthening in the convective heating and mixed convective process as well as via the electromagnetic improvement in the driven aspect of Lorentz’s forces.
