Significance of geothermal viscosity for the magnetic fluid flow between co-rotating porous surfaces.

Considering the Navier Stokes equations paired with the heat equation for ferrohydrodynamic flow of magnetic nanofluid amidst two rotating porous disks, nothing is known on the significance of geothermal viscosity for the magnetic fluid flow between co-rotating porous surfaces. The current analysis considers the effects of changing viscosity and thermal radiation. Additionally, the stretching and angular velocities of the two disks differ. The flow model's estimated basic equations are transformed into nondimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the proper transformation before being numerically solved using Maple's built-in BVP Midrich approach. For velocity and temperature fields, the effects of active flow parameters such as the depth-dependent viscosity variation parameter, ferro-hydrodynamics interaction parameter, Reynolds number, Prandtl number, Darcy number, Eckert number, and radiation parameter are discussed. It is worth noticing that the temperature field tends to decline as the Darcy parameter is higher estimated. It is worth concluding that there exists a high fluctuating viscosity around the lower disk, the magnitude of horizontal velocity decreased, but vertical velocity increased everywhere else. Furthermore, skin friction becomes more valuable at higher Reynolds numbers and porosity estimates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
