Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model for inclined MHD micropolar fluid flow past a non-linearly stretchable rotating disk

摘要

This study investigates the three-dimensional inclined magnetohydrodynamic flow of a micropolar fluid occurring between two stretchable rotating disks. Heat transfer analysis is illustrated while utilizing the effect of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Using similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations are transferred into a system of ordinary differential equations that are solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique along with sixth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effects of various physical parameters are graphically represented. From this analysis, it is concluded that the problem with Coriolis force makes the rotational parameter to increase the velocity of the fluid. It is also found that the thermal boundary layer decreases for higher values of thermal relaxation parameterλEfor bothRe=0.08andRe=1.5.
