A novel stochastic numerical scheme is introduced to solve stochastic differential equations. The development of the scheme is based on two different parts. One part finds the solution for the deterministic equation, and the second part is the numerical approximation for the integral part of the Wiener process term in the stochastic partial differential equation. The scheme’s stability and consistency in the mean square sense are also ensured. Additionally, a respective mathematical model of the boundary layer flow of Casson fluid on a flat and oscillatory plate is formulated. Wiener process terms perturb the model to be studied. This scheme will be solved in contexts including deterministic and stochastic. The influence of different parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles is demonstrated in various graphical representations. The main objective of this study is to present a reliable numerical approach that surpasses the limitations of traditional numerical methods to analyze non-Newtonian mixed convective fluid flows with varying transport parameters. Our objective is to demonstrate the capabilities of the new stochastic finite difference scheme in enhancing our comprehension of stochastic fluid flow phenomena. This will be achieved by comprehensively examining its mathematical foundations and computer execution. Our objective is to develop a revolutionary method that will serve as a valuable resource for scientists and engineers studying the modeling and understanding of stochastic unstable non-Newtonian mixed convective fluid flow. This method will address the challenges posed by the fluid’s changing thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity.
