MHD squeezed flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid over a sensor surface

An attempt has been made to examine the two dimensional free stream squeezed flow through a horizontal sensor surface of an electrically conducting Carreau-Yasuda fluid subject to transverse magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are modeled and then simplified with t...

Summary:An attempt has been made to examine the two dimensional free stream squeezed flow through a horizontal sensor surface of an electrically conducting Carreau-Yasuda fluid subject to transverse magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are modeled and then simplified with the aid of suitable similarity transformations. Well known numerical scheme Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method is utilized to solve the system. Concrete graphical analysis is carried out to investigate the behavior of different pertinent parameters on velocity profile with inclusive discussion. Numerical influence of friction factor is also discussed.
