Finite element simulation of Soret-Dufour and conjugate heating effects on mixed convective heat absorbing hydromagnetic Casson fluid flow with suction/blowing from flat semi-infinite vertical porous plate

Abstract

The finite element simulations of the Soret-Dufour and angled magnetic field effects on conjugate heat and mass transportation of unsteady heat absorbing hydromagnetic Casson flow across a semi-infinite flat oscillatory plate engrafted in a porous medium with suction/blowing, radiation and chemical reaction is performed. The dimensionless coupled flow guiding nonlinear PDEs of the physical structure is handled numerically by the dynamic Galerkin finite element scheme. The demeanor of the velocity, concentration and the temperature profiles due to the alterations in the regulating flow parameters are examined graphically whereas the wall-friction, mass and heat transfer rates explicated by utilizing the tabular data. The research discovered that radiation; conjugate heat transfer and diffusion thermo effects heighten the temperature and velocity distributions whereas heat absorption has a reverse effect. Likewise, conjugate mass transfer and thermo-diffusion effects intensify the concentration and velocity distributions whereas the chemical reaction display overturns aspect. Increased radiation absorption, inclined magnetic field and porosity parameter stimulate fluid velocity whereas the Casson and magnetic parameters exhibit the converse impact. In the instance of suction, the profiles of concentration, velocity and temperature displayed a downturn nature but for the case of blowing, it was noticed a reversal trend. Further, a comparative analysis between the current findings and existing research works in the literature demonstrates our results are exact and accurate.
