Boundary Layer Theory and Symmetry Analysis of a Williamson Fluid

Abstract: Boundary layer equations are derived for the first time for a Williamson fluid. Using Lie group theory, a symmetry analysis of the equations is performed. The partial differential system is transferred to an ordinary differential system via symmetries, and the resulting equations are numerically solved. Finally, the effects of the non-Newtonian parameters on the solutions are discussed.

“…Williamson [11] exposed this model to express pseudo-plastic physiognomies with both characteristics of minimum and maximum viscosity effects. Then rest of motivated researchers explore more heads for this non-Newtonian fluid category like Aksoy et al [12] derived first boundary layer equations subject to Williamson fluid model and offered symmetry analysis. Akbar et al [13] found numerical solution of Williamson nanofluid flow by using both fourth and fifth order RK–Fehlberg method in an irregular channel.…”

“…Although conventional forms of similarity are used in most studies, Lie group techniques detailed in [14] may unveil further by finding out invariants, i.e., symmetries, of the equations. Applications of Lie groups on non-Newtonian fluids, especially GNF, are given in [15][16][17] for consideration of readers. We intend to conduct an analytical study on a non-Newtonian fluid flow over a flat plate in light of previous studies.…”
