This paper is concern with the investigation of buoyancy-driven hydromagnetic mixed convection stagnation-point flow of nanofluids over a stretching sheet in the presence of induced magnetic field. Three types of nanofluids namely, Cu-water, Al 2 O 3 -water, TiO 2 -water are considered. The resulting system is solved numerically by a fifth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme with shooting technique. Numerical results are validated by comparing the present results with previously published results. Investigations predict that the effects of magnetic field is to increase induced magnetic field, whereas reverse effects is seen by increasing the volume fraction of the nanoparticles.

“…Therefore, control of flow separation is very important in most of the systems involving fluid fiow, underwater vehicles, and turbomachinery. Both passive and active devices are used to control the fiow separation [21]. The process of suction and injection (blowing) also has importance in many engineering applications such as in the design of thrust bearing and radial diffusers and thermal oil recovery.…”

The effect of transpiration on unsteady two-dimensional flow of an MHD non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface in the presence of a heat source/sink is investigated. The upper convected Maxwell fluid model is used to characterize the nonNewtonian fluid behavior. Using a similarity transformation the governing partial differential equations of the problem are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and the ODEs are solved numerically by a shooting method. The flow features and the heat transfer characteristics are analyzed and discussed in detail for several sets of values of the governing parameters. Though the velocity of the fluid initially decreases with increasing unsteady parameter but it increases finally. Quite the opposite is true with the temperature. Furthermore, the velocity of the fluid decreases with an increasing magnetic or Maxwell parameter. But the temperature is enhanced with an increasing Maxwell parameter. It is observed that the effect of the transpiration is to decrease the fluid velocity as well as the temperature. The results obtained reveal many interesting behaviors that warrant further study ofthe equations related to non-Newtonian fluid phenomena, especially the shear-thinning phenomena. Shear thinning reduces the wall shear stress.
