Numerical simulation and modelling of steady convective Hiemenz flow of a dissipative micropolar fluid through stretching sheet

ABSTRACT

The ongoing objective is to expand the mathematical model for steady convective Hiemenz flow on radiative dissipative micropolar fluid transport in a stretching sheet with Joule heating impacts and boundary conditions are influenced by slip velocity. Effectively a micropolar formulation combining different novel effects model is deployed. Navier-Stokes-based flow equations are rendered into non-dimensional form using some influential similarity transformations. The transmuted system of ordinary derivative equations has been solved through the Runge–Kutta Fourth order (RKF) along with the shooting technique. The outcome solutions are offered for velocity, angular velocity and temperature in tables, further engineering interest like shear stresses and Nusselt number are computed and discussed extensively to foremost parameters. Validation with prior results are established and found to agree quantitatively with others. The detailed analysis explores that, results produce notable hold upon boundary layer distributions.
