On the constitutive behaviour of the inertial drag with radiative and dissipative heat and chemical reaction for Casson fluid flow over an extending surface through permeable medium

Abstract

In advanced industrial and biomedical application combined with polymer processing, blood flow analysis, and food processing, the Casson fluid model emerged as a crucial framework for illustrating the transportation of non-Newtonian fluids. The proposed analysis investigates the constitutive behavior of the Darcy-Forchheimer inertial drag considering Casson fluid flow through an extending surface packed with Darcy medium. Also, favorable body forces like radiative and dissipative heat effects and chemical reactions are analyzed to carry out the synergistic role in the thermal and concentration distribution. The suitable assumptions of transformation rules are adopted to transform the governing flow phenomena into dimensionless forms. This leads to the appearance of certain factors involved in these governing equations. Further, coupled nonlinear sets of model problems are handled numerically employing the “spectral Quasi-linearization method”. The conformity of the attribute of convergence of the current strategy and the validation with the earlier investigation supported the particular cases. Further, the behaviour of the controlling factors on the flow profiles is depicted graphically. The results reveal the effective interaction of inertial drag and radiant heat on the velocity vis-a-vis temperature distributions. Moreover, the illustration of the enhanced chemical reaction influences the concentration profile with stronger reactions leading to sharper gradients.
