Role of Slip Velocity in a Magneto-Micropolar Fluid Flow from a Radiative Surface with Variable Permeability: A Numerical Study

Abstract

An analysis is presented to describe the hydromagnetic mixed convection flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium with radiation and slip flow regime. A uniform magnetic field has been considered in the study which absorbs the micropolar fluid with a varying suction velocity and acts perpendicular to the porous surface of the above plate.The governing non-linear partial differential equations have been transformed into linear partial differential equations, which are solved numerically by applying the explicit finite difference method. The numerical results are presented graphically in the form of velocity, micro-rotation, concentration and temperature profiles, the skin-friction coefficient, the couple stress coefficient, the rate of heat and mass transfers at the wall for different material parameters.

“…The micropolar fluid past oscillatory disk under the effect of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and MHD were scrutinized by Rauf et al [3]. Sharma et al [4] studied the electrically conducting micropolar fluid across a vertical plate with mixed convection and perceived that the rate of mass transfer escalates by escalating the chemical reaction effect. Qasim et al [5] examined micropolar fluid embedded with Newtonian heating effect.…”
