Multiple solutions of convection boundary layer flow for different types of fluids with various boundary conditions

In this study, similarity solutions of boundary layer flow and heat transfer in viscous fluid, micropolar fluid and nanofluid are considered for either mixed convection or magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-forced convection. The objectives of the thesis are to analyse mathematical models of heat and mass tr...

The objectives of the thesis are to analyse mathematical models of heat and mass transfer problems and to obtain the numerical results of each problem.

These problems are modeled to investigate and study their effects on a choice of fluids with various boundary conditions.

Besides, the effects of stretching/shrinking surface, permeable surface and also convective boundary condition have also been considered. Moreover, the consequence of moving wall also has been studied. The mathematical models for this problem are formulated, analyzed and simplified, and further transformed to non-dimensional form using non-dimensional variables.

Numerical results presented include the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle fraction (nanofluid) and angular velocity (micropolar fluid) profiles as well as the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics for a range of the governing parameters. All the numerical solutions are presented in the form of tables and figures. Additionally, the existences of multiple solutions are contributed by the applied numerical method (shooting method) and the involvement of certain parameters in the system. The multiple solutions are reached for shrinking sheet case. Besides, it was also occur when mixed convection, suction and unsteadiness parameter added into the system of equations.
