Numerical Estimation of Thermal Radiation Effects on Marangoni Convection of Dusty Fluid

Abstract

In this paper, numerical solutions to thermally radiating Marangoni convection of dusty fluid flow along a vertical wavy surface are established. The results are obtained with the understanding that the dust particles are of uniform size and dispersed in optically thick fluid. The numerical solutions of the dimensionless transformed equations are obtained through straightforward implicit finite difference scheme. In order to analyze the influence of various controlling parameters, results are displayed in the form of rate of heat transfer, skin friction coefficient, velocity and temperature profiles, streamlines, and isotherms. It is observed that the variation in thermal radiation parameter significantly alters the corresponding particle pattern and extensively promotes the heat transfer rate.
