... effect. Design/methodology/approach The partial differential equations that governed the problem will undergo a transformation into a set of similarity equations. Following this transformation, a numerical solution will be obtained using the boundary value problem solver, bvp4c, built in the MATLAB...

... the nanomaterial, the flow model is established, and in doing so, the Prandtl’s boundary layer theory is incorporated into the present model. The bvp4c approach, i.e. finite difference method, is used to find the numerical solution of differential equations that is controlling the fluid flow. The effect...

... and momentum PDEs are converted into non-linear ODEs by using suitable analogous approach. Design/methodology/approach Then the acquired non-linear problem is numerically calculated by using Bvp4c (built in) technique in MATLAB. Findings The influence of certain appropriate physical parameters, namely...

... differential equations are transformed into a set of similarity equations and are then solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver, bvp4c, available in MATLAB software. The effects of several physical parameters on the flow and the thermal characteristics of the hybrid nanofluid are analyzed...
