Unsteady three-dimensional stagnation point magnetohydrodynamic flow of bionanofluid with variable properties:

2018 
Unsteady three-dimensional laminar stagnation point forced convective boundary layer magnetohydrodynamic flow of a bionanofluid with variable transport properties is studied theoretically and numerically. Thermal convective and zero mass flux boundary conditions are incorporated in this study. The transport properties are assumed to be a function of nanoparticle volume fraction to get physically realistic results. The dimensional boundary layer equations along with the coupled boundary conditions are transformed via similarity transformations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-, fifth-order numerical method. The effect of selected governing parameters, namely, viscosity, thermal conductive, mass diffusivity, microorganism diffusivity, magnetic field and bioconvection Schmidt number, on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, microorganism, skin friction coefficient, heat tra...
