The Tiwari and Das model has been utilised to formulate mathematical equations, which have subsequently been transformed from partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The transformed equations have been solved using the shooting method incorporated with the Runge–Kutta technique. Through the application of these techniques, it has been ascertained that multiple solutions have emerged for this problem. To assess the stability of these solutions, the eigenvalue approach has been employed. The eigenvalue approach has revealed that only the first solution is physically viable in laboratory settings, while the second solution is not. The effects of radiation on temperature, skin friction, velocity and heat transfer rate have been elaborated upon in detail. Furthermore, flow separation points have been identified and the rationale behind the delay in flow separation has been expounded upon. Streamlined patterns have been drawn and explained to enhance our understanding of the fluid flow behaviour. Finally, it is worth noting that these types of studies have significant applications in the medical and aerospace industries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"98 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fKdV equation has many applications in diverse fields, including fluid dynamics, plasma physics, soliton theory and mathematical physics, for modeling wave propagation and nonlinear phenomena under the influence of external forces. Solitary wave solutions for this equation have been derived using three distinct techniques: the extended <span>((G^prime / G))</span>-expansion method, the Kudryashov method and the <span>((1/G^prime ))</span>-expansion method. As a result, several new solutions have been achieved which are in the form of hyperbolic, trigonometric, rational and exponential functions. Finally, the effects of different time-dependent external forces have been studied by presenting 3D, 2D and contour plots.
