Flow between two stretchable rotating disks with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model

Abstract

An analysis is performed to investigate flow between two stretchable rotating disks. Thermal equation is constructed by Cattaneo-Christov heat flux theory. Porous medium is also taken into account. The nonlinear partial differential equations are first converted to ordinary differential equations and then computed for the convergent series solutions. Discussion about impact of dimensionless parameters on velocities, temperature and skin friction coefficient is given. It is observed that the radial velocity at upper disk enhances for larger values of ratio of corresponding stretching rate to angular velocity. Velocity in y-direction decays with an increase in rotational parameter. Magnitude of temperature profile decays for larger Prandtl number and thermal relaxation parameter.
