Simulation of revised nanofluid model in the stagnation region of cross fluid by expanding-contracting cylinder

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to address stagnation point flow of cross nanofluid in frames of hydromagnetics. Flow analysis subjected to expanding-contracting cylinder is studied.

Design/methodology/approach

Nonlinear problems are computed by using bvp4c procedure.

Findings

Radius of curvature and temperature-dependent heat sink-source significantly affects heat-mass transport mechanisms for cylindrical surface.

Originality/value

No such analysis has yet been reported.
