Nonlinear radiative magnetohydrodynamic Falkner-Skan flow of Casson fluid over a wedge

This communication addresses the thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects on magnetohydrodynamic radiative Falkner-Skan flow of Casson fluid over a wedge with convective condition. In most of the existing studies thermal radiation is linear. Due to the noticeable significance of the numerous industrial as well as engineering applications, in this study we measured the thermal radiation is nonlinear. Numerical results are presented graphically as well as in tabular form with aid of Runge-Kutta and Newton's methods. Effects of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are presented and discussed for three wedge positions (i.e. static wedge, forward and backward movements of wedge). For engineering interest we also computed friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates. It is observed that thermal, concentration and momentum boundary layers are not uniform at different wedge positions. It is also observed that the heat and mass transfer rate is high when the wedge is moving in forward direction.
