Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Towards A Stagnation Point On An Exponentially Stretching/Shrinking Vertical Sheet With Buoyancy Effects
Purpose – This paper aims to examine the hybrid nanofluid flow towards a stagnation point on an exponentially stretching/shrinking vertical sheet with buoyancy effects. Design/methodology/approach – Here, the authors consider copper (Cu) and alumina (Al2O3) as hybridnanoparticles while water as the...

The governing equations are reduced to the similarity equations using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are programmed in Matlab software through the bvp4c solver to obtain their solutions.

The authors also notice that the bifurcation of the solutions occurs in the downward buoyant force and the shrinking regions.

buoyancy effects is taken into consideration. The authors show that two solutions are obtained for a single value of parameter for both stretching and shrinking cases, as well as for both buoyancy aiding and opposing flows. A temporal stability analysis then shows that only one of the solutions is stable and physically reliable as time evolves. |
