Numerical Study of MHD Third-Grade Fluid Flow through an Inclined Channel with Ohmic Heating under Fuzzy Environment

Abstract

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.

Fuzzy Analysis for Thin-Film Flow of a Third-Grade Fluid Down an Inclined Plane

“…Nadeem et al [16] numerically examined the effect of thermal radiation and natural convective flow on third-grade fuzzy hybrid nanofluid between two upright plates. Recently, Nadeem et al [17] explored Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and ohmic heating on a third-grade fluid in an inclined channel in a fuzzy atmosphere, using the triangle MF to address the uncertainty. Siddique et al [18] studied the Couette flow and heat transfer on third-grade fuzzy hybrid (SWCNT + MWCNT/Water) nanofluid over the inclined plane under a fuzzy environment.…”
