Wavelet investigation of Soret and Dufour effects on stagnation point fluid flow in two dimensions with variable thermal conductivity and diffusivity

Abstract

The current analysis is devoted to observing the influence of Soret and Dufour effects on stagnation point fluid flow in two dimensions. The buoyancy effects, variable thermal conductivity and diffusivity are also considered in our study. The governing equations of flow are reduced to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation system via a suitable transformation technique. The numerical simulation is performed by means of a new algorithm based on the Chebyshev wavelet method (MCWM). A detailed assessment of outcomes obtained by MCWM with fourth-order Runge-Kutta technique is available to support our wavelet-based solution. The significant properties and effects of various physical parameters are presented graphically. It is noted that an increase in the values of magnetic parameters cause a decrease in the velocity profile for the assisting case while the behavior of velocity is the opposite for the opposing case. The effects of Soret and Dufour enhanced the temperature and concentration, respectively. The comparison and convergence analysis indicate that the proposed algorithm is an efficient tool and could be extended for other complex nature models in engineering and physics.

A New Operational Matrices-Based Spectral Method for Multi-Order Fractional Problems

“…Indeed, algorithms depending upon the orthogonal basis functions converts the nonlinear problems under study to a set of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations and the obtained system could be solved to approximate the given problem. Previously, various kinds of polynomials including Bernstein, Chebyshev, Chelyshkov, Gegenbauer and shifted Gegenbauer, Jacobi, Laguerre, Laurent, Legendre and a few others had been utilized by researchers to examine different complex nature physical problems [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Lately, alternative kinds of orthogonal polynomials have been familiarized and adopted to evaluate the dynamics of the several types of problems governed by differential/integral equations.…”

Influence of carbon nanotubes on heat transfer in MHD nanofluid flow over a stretchable rotating disk: A numerical study

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Usman et al 29 discussed the study of novel modification in wavelets method to analyze the unsteady flow of nanofluid between two infinitely parallel plates. Wavelet investigation of Soret and Dufour effects on stagnation point fluid flow in two dimensions with variable thermal conductivity and diffusivity was investigated by Hamid et al 30 Iijima 31 and Baughman et al 32 are those researchers who were first to discover carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Hamid et al 33 investigated the natural convection of water-based CNTs in a partially heated rectangular fin-shaped cavity with an inner cylindrical obstacle.…”
