Thermal investigation of Jeffrey fluid flow past a stretching Riga curved surface under Soret and Dufour impacts

Abstract

In this analysis, we considered the steady flow of Jeffrey's fluid over an exponential stretching Riga curved surface. The impacts of Soret and Dufour are considered in the present analysis. Using the above assumptions, we developed the mathematical model in differential form (PDEs) using boundary layer approximations. The differential model (PDEs) is converted into a dimensionless system (ODEs) by implementing suitable transformations. The dimensionless system of differential equations is solved through the numerical technique bvp4c in Matlab software packages. The effects of governing physical parameters involving in the mathematical model have been presented in tabular and graphical form. Velocity function reported lesser values due to boosting values of modified Hartmann number. The velocity curves boosted due to improving values of curvature. The surface turn out to be flat, so momentum thickness gradually reduced.
