Similarity solution of second grade fluid flow over a moving cylinder

Stagnation point flow of viscoelastic second grade fluid over a stretching cylinder under the thermal slip and magnetic hydrodynamics effects are studied. The mathematical model has been developed under the assumption of non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid flow over a stretching cylinder by means of the boundary layer approximations. The developed model further reduced through the similarity transformations and constructs the model of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The system of nonlinear differential equations is dimensionless and solved through the numerical technique bvp5c methods. The results of the physical parameters are found and interpreted in the form of tables and graphs. The velocity shows that the graph of curves enhances away from the surface when the values material parameter beta* increase, which means the momentum boundary layer increases for enhancing the material parameter beta*. The temperature gradient reduced due enhancing the values of material parameter beta* because thermal boundary layer reduced for higher values of material parameter beta*.

Automated summary

The study investigates stagnation point flow of viscoelastic second grade fluid over a stretching cylinder under thermal slip and magnetic hydrodynamics effects. Results show an increase in momentum boundary layer as material parameter beta* increases, while a decrease in thermal boundary layer for higher values of material parameter beta*.
