Heat and Mass Transfer Analysis of a Convective Williamson fluid flow over a Cylinder
A numerical study is designed for a boundary layer flow of a Williamson fluid past a permeable vertical cylinder. A Williamson fluid model and a Crank Nicholson scheme explain the conduct of pseudoplastic fluid flow over a cylinder. Comparison of Newtonian fluid and Williamson fluid are depicted through the stream line and contour plots of velocity, temperature, and concentration. The mechanical properties such as skin friction, rate of heat, and mass transfer are also elucidated graphically. This investigation discloses that the enhancement occurs while elastic force dominates. Also, the flow impediment takes place in the velocity distribution for relegating values of Weissenberg number. The results are compared with previously published results and they are correlated excellently.
