Description

Dual solutions for the time-dependent flow of a Prandtl fluid containing nanoparticles along a stretching/shrinking surface are presented. The nano Prandtl fluid fills the porous stretching/shrinking surface. The Buongiorno model is employed by accounting Brownian motion and thermophoresis slip mechanisms in the analysis. The relevant nonlinear problem is treated numerically via Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme. The flow profiles are scrutinized with respect to the different governing parameters. Results of this study indicate that the temperature boundary layer thickness increased due to the influence of nanoparticles. 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
