Abstract. An analysis was carried out to study the mixed convection flow of a non-Newtonian second grade fluid past an inclined stretching sheet in the presence of a g-jitter effect. The transformed governing equation, consisting of coupled non-linear partial differential equations, was solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. The flow and heat transfer characteristics in terms of velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients influenced by the amplitude of modulation, frequency of oscillation, inclination angle and second grade parameters were presented graphically and analysed in detail. The findings revealed that the heat transfer coefficient is enhanced with an increase in the second grade parameter, whereas the opposite trend is observed for the skin friction coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
