MODELING AND SIMULATIONS OF THIN FILM MAGNETIZED SISKO FLUID-FLOW ON AN UNSTEADY STRETCHING SURFACE

Abstract

The core concept revolves around the applications and mechanisms of thin film flow. Thin films are widespread, and understanding their behavior is crucial due to their extensive range of practical applications in engineering and industries. In this study 2-D thin film flow of Sisko fluid on an unsteady stretching sheet in the presence of a uniform magnetic field MHD is analyzed. The fluid moves with the stretching of the lower plate. Due to the applied magnetic field of strength Bo, the fluid is assumed to be electrically conducting. The governing equations of the flow of Sisko fluid are in the form of PDE which are converted to the ODE by the use of self-similar transformation with a non-dimensional unsteadiness factor, St. (RKM-4) have been utilized to find the solution of the modeled equations. Comnumerical procedure are shown numerically. The effect of different physical parameters on the flow profiles is discussed with a physical explanation in result and discussion section through graphs and tables. The velocity profile enhanced with the higher values of Sisko fluid parameter whereas decline with magnetic factor.
