Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, a range of fundamental studies, theoretical/experimental investigations, various computational methods, and mathematical modelling related to conduction, convection, condensation, and radiation in technological systems, materials, and several additional linked substances have been conducted.

This Special Issue of Fluids invites researchers to publish state-of-the-art investigations including mathematical methods and theoretical/experimental studies that extend the existing methodologies to new contributions addressing existing challenges and engineering difficulties associated with growing/reducing flow and heat transfer supply. The latest models for computationally enhanced heat transfer for nanofluids/hybrid nanofluids are sought, along with theoretical/experimental inquiries regarding enhanced heat transfer to strengthen the thermal performance of energy systems. The use of conventional/new and better-performing techniques to address heat transfer problems, and the assessment of fluid flow along with heat and mass transfer such as boiling, condensation, and reactive flow trends are also of interest. We hope that readers and the scientific community will benefit from your innovation and up-to-date findings.

Abstract
The present investigation aims to examine the heat flux mechanism in the hagnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convective flow of Williamson-type fluid across an exponential stretching porous curved surface. The significant role of thermal conductivity (variable), non-linear thermal radiation, unequal source-sink, and Joules heating is [...] Read more.
The present investigation aims to examine the heat flux mechanism in the hagnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convective flow of Williamson-type fluid across an exponential stretching porous curved surface. The significant role of thermal conductivity (variable), non-linear thermal radiation, unequal source-sink, and Joules heating is considered. The governing problems are obtained using the Navier–Stokes theory, and the appropriate similarity transformation is applied to write the partial differential equations in the form of single-variable differential equations. The solutions are obtained by using a MATLAB-based built-in bvp4c package. The vital aspect of this analysis is to observe the effects of the curvature parameter, magnetic number, suction/injection parameter, permeability parameter, Prandtl factor, Eckert factor, non-linear radiation parameter, buoyancy parameter, temperature ratio parameter, Williamson fluid parameter, and thermal conductivity (variable) parameter on the velocity field, thermal distribution, and pressure profile which are discussed in detail using a graphical approach. The correlation with the literature reveals a satisfactory improvement in the existing results on permeability factors in Williamson fluids. Full article
