Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to scrutinize the axisymmetric flow of second-grade nanofluid with variable viscosity near a stagnation point under the influence of the Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion model. A Riga plate is assumed to be the source of the three-dimensional flow. The consequences of the anisotropic slip conditions and the Buongiorno model are included in the formulation of the constituting equations of the fluid flow. The highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations are developed with the executions of the relevant similarity transformations on the problem's governing equations. For the asymptotic analysis, the appropriate expansions are implemented on the nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. The bvp4c technique of the MATLAB package is implemented on the nonlinear ordinary equations for the numerical solutions. In order to explore the impact of the parameter slip factor on the pattern of velocities, temperature, and concentration profiles, several graphs are plotted. From this study, we conclude that the normalized velocities boost up with the amplification in the slip factor parameter but the temperature profile exhibits a declining behavior. The concentration field exhibits the accelerating behavior relative to the slip parameter.
