Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to address the flow of Sisko nanofluid by an unsteady curved surface. Non-uniform heat source/sink is considered for heat transfer analysis.
Design/methodology/approach
Numerical solutions are constructed using bvp4c procedure.
Findings
Pressure profile inside boundary region is increased when A and K are enhanced.
Originality/value
No such analysis is yet presented.
