Research on Fluid Mechanics with Slip Flow of Viscoelastic Fluid in the Micro Channel

Abstract:

Stagnation flow, an import research branch of fluid mechanics, describing the fluid motion near the stagnation region, exists on all solid bodies moving in a fluid. And stagnation point boundary layer flow problems described by partial differential equations have attracted many scholars attention nowadays. These problems have become difficult and hot in the study of applied mathematics, mechanics and materials engineering. This paper has transformed the governing boundary layer equations into a system of nonlinear differential equations through the similarity transformation, and the analytical approximations of solutions are derived by homotopy analysis method (HAM). In addition, the effects of physical factors (such as the slip parameter, Magnetic field parameter and Reynolds number) on the flow are examed and discussed graphically. They have a great impact on the speed.
