Effect of Nonlinear Thermal Radiation on MHD Flow over a Vertical Cylinder Moving with Nonlinear Velocity

Authors: Tarek G Emam

Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of nonlinear radiative magnetohydrodynamic flow over a vertical cylinder that moves with nonlinear velocity. The mathematical model of the problem is constructed including different parameters such as the nonlinearity parameter, the thermal radiation parameter, the magnetic parameter, etc. Suitable similarity transformation is used to transform the system of partial differential equations that describes the fluid motion into a system of ordinary differential equations. The obtained system along with the associated boundary conditions is solved numerically using Mathematica.
