-In the present article, we have examined the two dimensional flow of Williamson fluid model over a stretching sheet. The governing equations of pseudoplastic Williamson fluid are modelled and then simplified by using similarity transformations and boundary layer approach. The reduced equations are then solved analytically with the help of homotopy analysis method. The physical features of the model are presented and discussed through graphs.
In the present paper, we have examined the two-dimensional flow of Williamson fluid over a stretching sheet under the effects of nano-sized particle also described as nano Williamson fluid. The boundary layer equations of nano Williamson fluid model along with energy and nanoparticle volume fraction are presented and simplified with the help of useful transformations. Governing equations are somewhat different from the ones present in literature (reason is explained in the introduction section). The expressions for coefficients of skin friction and Nusselt number have been computed. The physical features of nondimensional Williamson parameter, Lewis number, Schmidt number and nano particle parameters (diffusivity ratio and heat capacities ratio) have been discussed by plotting the graphs of velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction.
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.
