Abstract
This article deals with the numerical study of the non-Darcian nanofluid flow through a stretchable elastic surface. It is supposed that the viscous fluid is electrically conducting and that it is propagating through a porous material. In the current flow configuration, the implications of heat radiation, Brownian motion, and viscous dissipation are also incorporated. The boundary conditions also take slip velocity and thermal slip into account. The mathematical modeling is accomplished using similarity variables. The differential equations’ final forms are nonlinearly coupled. As a result, we developed numerical solutions using the Keller-box approach in association with a finite difference scheme. All the numerical simulations have been developed and performed in Matlab software. Tables are also used to analyze and report physical values of interest such as the local Sherwood number, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number.
