Numerical illustrations of 3D tangent hyperbolic liquid flow past a bidirectional moving sheet with convective heat transfer at the boundary

Abstract

Convective heat transfer plays a central role in the numerous industrial devices because it perturbs the mechanical behavior of a system along with its thermodynamics. Keeping such applications in mind, analysis of heat transportation in three-dimensional tangent hyperbolic fluid flow is investigated here. Convective heat transportation at the boundaries is considered. Rosseland's approximation has been used for the radiation effects. Closed form analytical solutions for the governing equations are difficult to obtain even after the use of similarity transformations. Therefore, the numerical solutions are presented through the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg forth-fifth method. Graphical analysis of the numerical results has been carried out. Roles of sundry constraints on flow are studied. It is also noted that the rates of heat transportation and skin-friction are higher in the presence of convective heat transfer near the boundary.
