Abstract

Abstract A model study is reported to examine the effect of magnetic hydrodynamics polar fluid over a semistretched infinite vertical porous surface in the presence of heat source, temperature, magnetic field, and thermal radiation. The governing dimensional partial differential equations are transformed into an ordinary differential equation set by introducing the similarity variables. The reduced model is numerically solved via Runge–Kutta fourth order along with the shooting technique. The effects of various physical parameters on coefficient of skin friction, microrotation coefficient, and Nusselt number are studied whereas the outcomes are explained through a set of graphs. The results obtained are explained in tabular form and graphs. Prandtl and Hartman's numbers enhance the velocity profile while the opposite behavior is noticed for . Higher values of Pr enlarge the angular velocity near the surface. Improved temperature distribution is noticed for higher values of Ha and ϕ , However, a declined behaviour is observed for , and .
