The achieved numerical outcomes are approved using an analytical approach known as the optimal auxiliary functions method. The implications of critical parameters on flow profiles and physical quantities are illustrated via graphs and tables.

This study also suggests that heat transfer enhancement varies much more significantly than the drag reduction effect in the obtained data. Streamlines and isotherm lines are also illustrated to examine the velocity and temperature characteristics for designated nanoparticle shapes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9758,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Physics Impact","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100882"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143865028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
