•The MHD 2-Dimensional flow of Casson fluid is present.•Streamlines pattern are presented to study the actual impact of slip mechanism and magnetic field on the oblique flow.•The prevailing momentum equations are designed by manipulating Casson fluid model.•Obtained coupled ordinary differential equations are investigated numerically.•Graphical results are obtained for each physical parameter.
This study explores the collective effects of partial slip and transverse magnetic field on an oblique stagnation point flow of a rheological fluid. The prevailing momentum equations are designed by manipulating Casson fluid model. By applying the suitable similarity transformations, the governing system of equations is being transformed into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting system is handled numerically through midpoint integration scheme together with Richardson's extrapolation. It is found that both normal and tangential velocity profiles decreases with an increase in magnetic field as well as slip parameter. Streamlines pattern are presented to study the actual impact of slip mechanism and magnetic field on the oblique flow. A suitable comparison with the previous literature is also provided to confirm the accuracy of present results for the limiting case.
