Abstract

Abstract The main resource of this paper is to establish over fluid flows sheet using mathematical modeling for constant and variable thickness by including magnetic fields, electric fields, porous medium, heat propagation/immersion, and radiative heat relocation. The Implicit Finite Difference Method (IFDM) is applied to simplify using similarity conversions to implicate partial differential equations to convert into ordinary differential equations. IFDM has been implemented in MATLAB to tabulate numerical observations of the local parameters. Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are analyzed and measured for different parameters in different constant and variable thickness conditions of fluid properties. The influence of various parameters is explained through temperature, velocity, concentration, and nanoparticle volume fraction graphical representations. The coefficient of the skin friction for irregular fluid properties is shown to have a greater influence than that compared for constant fluid properties. Nevertheless, there is a reverse case in the local Nusselt number that is lower for the fluctuating fluid properties than with constant fluid properties. The results showed high‐exactness computational outcomes are attained from the IFDM.
