Numerical treatment for solving a model of non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow over an extensible sheet based on maritime field

A numerical solution for steady-state, incompressible, laminar Casson fluid flow and heat transfer in the combined region of a boundary layer is presented for the case of mixed convection and slip velocity. Before introducing the present technique of non-Newtonian Casson model, reviewing the literature has been carefully performed, an improved technique for this model is studied, which has not been previously reported. The presented analysis involves the harness of a magnetic field, viscous dissipation, internal heat generation/absorption and the slip velocity. Finite difference method (FDM) has been used to get an accurate and complete numerical solution. In this novel study, it is proved by means of a finite difference technique, that the velocity and the thermal field may be influenced with the presence of mixed convection phenomenon. The results show that both the fluid velocity and temperature may be predicted from the values of the controlling parameters. Finally, the graphical output reveals that the fluid velocity is diminished by strengthening both the Hartman number and the Casson parameter while the reverse characteristics are observed for the Grashof number.
