Numerical investigation on 2D viscoelastic fluid due to exponentially stretching surface with magnetic effects: an application of non-Fourier flux theory

摘要

Two-dimensional flow of Casson fluid toward an exponentially stretched surface in view of Cattaneo–Christove flux theory is discoursed in current communication. Flow pattern within boundary layer under the effectiveness of magnetic field is also contemplated in the communication. Non-dimensionalized governing expressions are attained through transformation procedure. To anticipate the fascinating features of present work, solution of resulted nonlinear differential system is computed with the collaborated help of shooting scheme and Runge–Kutta method. The influence of involved variables on velocity and temperature fields is scrutinized. Contribution of thermal relaxation is explicitly pointed out. Evaluation of convective heat transfer and friction factor in the fluid flow is visualized through graphs and tables. Additionally, the assurance of present work is affirmed by developing comparison with previous findings in the literature which sets a trade mark for the implementation of numerical approach. It is inferred from the thorough examination of the analysis that present formulation reduces to classical Fourier’s problem by considering Λ=0. Furthermore, decreasing pattern in temperature distribution is depicted in the presence of Cattaneo–Christove flux law as compared to heat transfer due to the Fourier’s law.
