MHD stagnation point transient flow of nanofluid past a stretching sheet: SRM approach

Abstract

Stagnation point nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium is investigated in the present model by taking Navier's velocity slip into account. The spectral relaxation method (SRM) is utilized to solve boundary layer equations. The variation of nanofluid velocity, concentration and temperature corresponding to some dominant flow parameters is displayed via graphs. The findings reveal that when stretching sheet is moving faster than free stream then porous permeability, unsteadiness, velocity slip and local magnetic parameters have tendency to reduce fluid velocity but in opposite case, they behave as an assisting parameters for flow field.
