Symmetry and fluid dynamics either advances the state-of-the-art of mathematical methods and extends the limitations of existing methodologies to new contributions in fluid. Physical scenario is modelled in terms of differential equations as mathematical models in fluid mechanics to address current challenges. In this work a physical problem to examine the unsteady flow of a third-grade non-Newtonian liquid induced through a permeable shrinking surface containing nanoliquid is considered. The model of Buongiorno is utilized comprising the thermophoresis and Brownian effects through nonlinear thermal radiation and convective condition. Based on the flow symmetry, suitable similarity transformations are employed to alter the partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then these ordinary differential equations are numerically executed via three-stage Lobatto IIIa formula. The flow symmetry is discussed for interesting physical parameters and thus this work is concluded. More exactly, the impacts of pertinent constraints on the concentration, temperature and velocity profiles along together drag force, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are explained through the aid of the tables and plots. The outcomes reveal that the dual nature of solutions is gained for a specific amount of suction and flow in the decelerating form A < 0 . However, the unique result is obtained for flow in accelerating form A ≥ 0 . In addition, the non-linear parameter declines the liquid velocity and augments the concentration and temperature fields in the first result, whereas the contrary behavior is scrutinized in the second result.

A numerical study was carried out to examine the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar fluid on a shrinking surface in the presence of both Joule heating and viscous dissipation effects. The governing system of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) was obtained from the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) by employing exponential transformations. The resultant equations were transformed into initial value problems (IVPs) by shooting technique and then solved by the Runge–Kutta (RK) method. The effects of different parameters on velocity, angular velocity, temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number were obtained and demonstrated graphically. We observed that multiple solutions occurred in certain assortments of the parameters for suction on a surface. The stability analysis of solutions was performed, and we noted that the first solution was stable while the remaining two solutions were not. The results also showed that the velocity of the fluid increased as the non-Newtonian parameter rose in all solutions. Furthermore, it was detected that the temperature of fluid rose at higher values of the Eckert number in all solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusions are the fundamental ideas of abnormal upgrading in thermal conductivity via binary fluids (base fluid along with nanoparticles). The influence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are focused on in the Buongiorno model. In this problem, we considered the Buongiorno model with Brownian motion and thermophoretic effects. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations are recovered from the partial differential equations of the boundary flow via compatible similarity transformations and then employed to the Keller-box scheme for numerical results. The physical quantities of our concern including skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number along with velocity, temperature and concentration profile against involved effects are demonstrated. The impacts of the involved flow parameters are drawn in graphs and tabulated forms. The inclination effect shows an inverse relation with the velocity field. Moreover, the velocity profile increases with the growth of the buoyancy effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The prime aim of this paper is to probe the flow of micropolar nanofluid towards an inclined stretching surface adjacent to the stagnation region with Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts. The chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption are also taken into account. The energy and mass transport of the micropolar nanofluid flow towards an inclined surface are discussed. The numerical solution is elucidated for the converted non-linear ordinary differential equation from the set of partial nonlinear differential equations via compatible similarity transformations. A converted system of ordinary differential equations is solved via the Keller-box scheme. The stretching velocity and external velocity are supposed to change linearly by the distance from the stagnation point. The impacts of involved parameters on the concerned physical quantities such as skin friction, Sherwood number, and energy exchange are discussed. These results are drawn through the graphs and presented in the tables. The energy and mass exchange rates show a direct relation with the stagnation point. In the same vein, skin friction diminishes with the growth of the stagnation factor. Heat and mass fluxes show an inverse correspondence with the inclination factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The principal objective of the current study is to analyze the Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts on micropolar nanofluid flow over a nonlinear inclined stretching sheet taking into account the Soret and Dufour effects. The compatible similarity transformations are applied to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations from the partial differential equations. The numerical solution of the present study obtained via the Keller-Box technique. The physical quantities of interest are skin friction, Sherwood number, and heat exchange, along with several influences of material parameters on the momentum, temperature, and concentration are elucidated and clarified with diagrams. A decent settlement can be established in the current results with previously published work in the deficiency of incorporating effects. It is found that the growth of the inclination and nonlinear stretching factor decreases the velocity profile. Moreover, the growth of the Soret effect reduces the heat flux rate and wall shear stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present article is devoted to examine the significance of double stratification in third grade stagnation point flow towards a radiative stretching cylinder. The stagnation point is discussed categorically. Analysis is scrutinized in the presence of Thermophoresis, Brownian diffusion, double stratification and heat source/sink. Suitable typical transformations are used to drive the system of ordinary differential equation. The governing system is subjected to optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) for convergent series solutions. The impact of pertinent fluid parameters on the velocity field, temperature distribution and concentration of the nanoparticles is shown graphically. Numerical data is compiled in tabulare form for skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers to analyze the variation caused by the present model and to see the impact for industrial and engineering point of view.
