Spectral relaxation analysis of sutterby fluid flow and heat transfer across porous media utilizing the CattaneoChristov Model
This research endeavors to examine the dynamics of Sutterby fluid exhibiting magnetic properties in conjunction with a porous and elastic substrate. This investigation employs a computational approach and integrates the CattaneoChristov framework to scrutinize the flow characteristics at the stagnation point. This analysis explores the intricacies of fluid dynamics and thermal melting behaviors, leveraging the augmented effectiveness of nanofluids. This inquiry clarifies the mechanisms of movement and heat transfer within the boundary layer. The intricate system is streamlined with the use of appropriate similarity variables and resolved computationally by using the spectral relaxation (SR) algorithm. The primary aim is to inspect the mechanism of thermal transport using a CattaneoChristov theory. The graphical depiction illustrates the computed results showing the behavior of concentration, velocity, and thermal profiles. The key results indicate that the characteristics of the porous medium markedly enhance the surface shear stress. Shear-thinning fluids demonstrate higher velocities compared to shear-thickening fluids, exhibiting notable differences in velocity and temperature distributions between the two categories. The results support and align with previous research findings reported in the existing literature. The realms of engineering, biomedical applications, nano-scale drug delivery, materials science, and defense are collectively acknowledged as relevant disciplines for the implementation of this phenomenon, wherein blood is regarded as a Sutterby fluid.
