- Description
- The effect of variable viscosity on Marangoni convection in immediate vicinity of the plate is discussed. The mathematical model of the problem is highly nonlinear partial differential equations transforms into two nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying suitable similarity transformations. The reduced similarity equivalences are then solved numerically by RungeKutta Fehlberg-45 order method. The consequences of pertinent parameters like variable viscosity parameter, convection parameter and volume fraction are analyzed on various flow fields. The results acquired are on par with erstwhile published results. The results of the present study shows that for greater values of angular momentum the buoyancy effects dominate, augmentation in mixed convection carries away the free convection currents from the plate, increase in volume fraction of solid enhances the thermal conductivity of the fluid and it is important to note that Marangoni effect is constructive for cooling processes. 2019 by American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
