Abstract

This study discusses the flow of viscous fluid past a moving thin needle in a Darcy–Forchheimer permeable media. The novelty of the envisioned mathematical model is enhanced by adding the effects of a non-uniform source/sink amalgamated with homogeneous–heterogeneous (hh) reactions. The MATLAB bvp4c function is employed to solve the non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are obtained via similarity transformations. The outcomes of numerous parameters are explicitly discussed graphically. The drag force coefficient and heat transfer rate are considered and discussed accordingly. It is comprehended that higher estimates of variable source/sink boost the temperature profile.
