Unsteady Flow of a Nanofluid over a Sphere with Nonlinear Boussinesq Approximation

What is it about?

A theoretical study is presented for transient mixed convection flow of a nanofluid in the forward stagnation region of a heated sphere which is rotating with time dependent angular velocity taking non-linear Boussinesq approximation into account. The nanofluid is treated as a two-component mixture i.e. nano-particles distributed homogenously in a base fluid. The effects of the Brownian motion and thermophoresis are included for the nanofluid flow.
