In an uncertain atmosphere, the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow in three principal flows of the third grade fluid across two parallel plates is presented. Fuzzy differential equations are constructed by manipulating dimensionless differential equations. The prime purpose of the current article is to use a semi-analytical approach fuzzy-based Adomian decomposition method to achieve numerical results for nonlinear FDEs with fuzzy boundary conditions. Triangular fuzzy numbers are used in fuzzy BCs with help of α -cut approach. This strategy is linked to the membership function. In a graphic and tabular depiction, the effect of α and other constraints on fuzzy velocity profiles is explored. The current findings are in good agreement with their previous numerical and analytical results in a crisp environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, fundamental flow problems, namely, Couette flow, fully developed plane Poiseuille flow, and plane Couette–Poiseuille flow of a third-grade non-Newtonian fluid between two horizontal parallel plates separated by a finite distance in a fuzzy environment are considered. The governing nonlinear differential equations (DEs) are converted into fuzzy differential equations (FDEs) and explain our approach with the help of the membership function (MF) of triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is used to solve fundamental flow problems based on FDEs. In a crisp environment, the current findings are in good accord with their previous numerical and analytical results. Finally, the effect of the α -cut α ∈ 0,1 and other engineering constants on fuzzy velocity profile are invested in graphically and tabular forms. Also, the variability of the uncertainty is studied through the triangular MF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The uncertainties or fuzziness occurs due to insufficient knowledge, experimental error, operating conditions, and parameters that give the imprecise information. In this article, we discuss the combined effects of the gravitational and magnetic parameters for both crisp and fuzzy cases in the three basic flow problems (namely, Couette flow, Poiseuille flow, and Couette–Poiseuille flow) of a third-grade fluid over an inclined channel with heat transfer. The dimensionless governing equations with the boundary conditions are converted into coupled fuzzy differential equations (FDEs). The fuzzified forms of the governing equations along with the boundary conditions are solved by employing the numerical technique bvp4c built in MATLAB for both cases, which is very efficient and has a less computational cost. In the first case, proposed problems are analyzed in a crisp environment, while in the second case, they are discussed in a fuzzy environment with the help of α -cut approach, which controls the fuzzy uncertainty. It is observed that the fuzzy gravitational and magnetic parameters are less sensitive for a better flow and heat situation. Using triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs), the left, right, and mid values of the velocity and temperature profile are presented due to various values of the involved parameters in tabular form. For validation, the present results are compared with existing results for some special cases, viz., crisp case, and they are found to be in good agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
