چکیده

Unsteady two-dimensional flow of a Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface in a porous medium subjected to suction/blowing is investigated. The upper-convected Maxwell fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behaviour. With the help of similarity transformations, the boundary layer equation corresponding to the momentum equation is transformed to an ordinary one and then solved numerically by the shooting method. The flow characteristics for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed in detail. The fluid velocity initially decreases with increasing unsteadiness parameter. Also, it is found that the fluid velocity decreases with increasing permeability parameter. The effect of increasing values of the Maxwell parameter is to suppress the velocity field. Due to suction, the fluid velocity is found to decrease in the boundary layer region.

Multivariate Jeffrey Fluid Flow past a Vertical Plate through Porous Medium

An analysis is suggested to study the impact of Hall currents in Jeffrey fluid which is chemically reactive through a porous medium limited by a semi-infinite vertical permeable plate within the existence of heat generation. An evenly distributed magnetic field turns vertically on the porous surface which absorbs the Jeffrey fluid with a changed suction velocity with time. The analytical expres...
