Intelligent computing to analyze the dynamics of Magnetohydrodynamic flow over stretchable rotating disk model

In this study a novel application of neurocomputing technique is presented for nonlinear fluid mechanics problem arising in the model of the flow over stretchable rotating disk in the presence of strong magnetic field. The scheme comprises of the power of effective modelling of neural networks supported with integrated optimization strength of genetic algorithm and interior-point method. The governing partial differential equation of the system is converted to nonlinear systems of simultaneous ordinary differential equations by incorporating the similarity variables. Neural network based approximate differential equation models are formulated for the transformed system that are used to construct the merit function in mean squared error sense. The networks are trained initially by genetic algorithm for the global search and rapid local refinements is attained through efficient interior point method. The given scheme is applied for dynamical analysis of the system model in terms of radial, tangential, axial velocities and heat effects by varying magnetic interaction parameters, unsteadiness factors, disk stretchable magnitudes, and Prandtl numbers. The statistical performance indices based on error from standard numerical solutions are used to validate the correctness, consistency, robustness and stability of the proposed stochastic solver.
