Keywords:
Nanofluid Flow, Magnetized, Numerical Study, Curved Surface, Runge–KuttaAbstract
Motivated by its significance for advanced thermal and commercial applications, this work offers a computational analysis of magnetized mixed convection nanofluid flow across a curved stretched surface. Using the Tiwari–Das single-phase nanofluid model, the study takes into account the effects of a transverse magnetic field, curvature, mixed convection, and important thermophysical factors. Through appropriate similarity transformations, the controlling nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a system of dimensionless ordinary differential equations, which are then numerically solved using the shooting approach in conjunction with a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme. A detailed analysis is conducted of the effects of different factors on the local Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient, and velocity and temperature profiles. The findings provide important new information for the design and optimization of curved surface thermal systems using nanofluids by demonstrating how magnetic and curvature effects dramatically change flow behavior and heat transmission properties.
