The current study presents an analysis of an inclined magnetized unsteady Cross fluid flowing over a coated disk with buoyancy effects and energy loss. The flow is modeled using the Navier-Stokes equations, including buoyancy, magnetic field, and energy loss effects based on the coated disk. The governing equations are solved numerically by applying the process of bvp4c to analyze the effects of inclination angle, magnetic field strength, and coating thickness using the flow characteristics. The results indicate that the buoyancy effects have a significant impact on the flow along with the results of flow velocity increment along with static pressure decrement. The magnetic field also has significant effects on the flow, which shows the decreasing velocity by increasing the magnetic field. Additionally, the coating thickness has significant effects on energy loss that decrease by increasing the coating thickness. The purpose of this work is to provide the valuable insight using the buoyancy, magnetic field, and coating thickness effects on the flow characteristics and energy loss based on the inclined magnetic unsteady cross flow passing over a coated disk.
