Numerical treatment for three-dimensional rotating flow of carbon nanotubes with Darcy–Forchheimer medium by the Lobatto IIIA technique

Abstract

In this study, numerical treatment with the Lobatto IIIA technique is presented to analyze the dynamics of Darcy–Forchheimer flow for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a revolving frame. Stretching the surface causes fluid flow and the model is implemented for the transport of hybrid nanofluids. The governing partial differential system is simplified with the involvement of the boundary layer approximation. Similarity variables are used for the transformation of governing partial differential equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The results for single and multiwalled CNTs are attained by the Lobatto IIIA technique for the analysis of the resulting system. Adequate numerical and graphical illustrations are presented to investigate and understand how different flow parameters affect the velocities and temperature fields. Furthermore, the coefficients of the skin friction and the local Nusselt number are inspected numerically.
