Upper convected Maxwell fluid in an isothermal flow with thermal radiation

Abstract

In this research paper, a mathematical model of the isothermal flow of upper convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid with thermal radiation through a saturated porous media was studied in detail, with different physical parameters being considered. Maple 18 software is used to implement this strategy. The analysis of the results showed that the flow system was significantly influenced by the Schmidt, Darcy, and Deborah numbers, the unsteadiness parameter, the Maxwell parameter, the magnetic field parameter, and other physical characteristics. The influence of several physical characteristics on the flow system are discussed and shown graphically.
