Numerical simulation for MHD Oldroyd-B fluid flow with melting and slip effect
Abstract
Abstract This investigation reflects an examination of Oldroyd-B fluid flow over a permeable surface subjected to the effects of melting, slip effect, inclined magnetic field and chemical reactions. The governing equations are resolved using the bvp4c inbuilt MATLAB tool, the arithmetic computation for the momentum, thermal and concentration equations are executed. The results are exhibited graphically. Numerical outcomes are graphically depicted by aid of velocity, concentration, temperature profiles for several model variables. The achieved results exhibit a promising agreement with the previously established findings available in the open literature. The results obtained indicated that Deborah number $$\beta_{1}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> reduces the momentum boundary layer thickness whereas Deborah number $$\beta_{2}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> enhances the adjacent momentum boundary layer. Furthermore, temperature profile declined for melting parameter $$Me$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>Me</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . The application of this study transcends various engineering disciplines, offering practical solutions and optimization opportunities in polymer processing, coating technologies, cooling systems, materials processing, biomedical and environmental engineering.
