Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is designated for the researchers to contribute any recent research papers as well as review articles on the topic of “Magnetohydrodynamics and Symmetry: Theory, Methods, and Applications”. The work may highlight the advancement in (1) mathematical methods through theoretical derivation, numerical analysis/simulation, or (2) experimental studies. Besides, the work may also be subjected to the new contribution related to the symmetrical behavior and Lie symmetry of the proposed differential equations. In addition, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which is also called hydromagnetic or magneto-fluid dynamics, is one of the fascinating subject matter in the fluid mechanic area. It highlights the study of the magnetic properties and behavior of electrically conducting fluids like liquid metals, electrolytes, plasmas and salt water. We hope that this Special Issue can benefit and fascinate the scientific community researchers and general readers regarding the up-to-date findings of magnetohydrodynamics and symmetry for industrial and technological development.

Abstract
The boundary layer flows exhibit symmetrical characteristics. In such cases, the flow patterns and variables are symmetrical with respect to a particular axis or plane. This symmetry simplifies the analysis and enables the use of symmetry-based boundary conditions or simplifications in mathematical models. [...] Read more.
The boundary layer flows exhibit symmetrical characteristics. In such cases, the flow patterns and variables are symmetrical with respect to a particular axis or plane. This symmetry simplifies the analysis and enables the use of symmetry-based boundary conditions or simplifications in mathematical models. Therefore, by using these concepts, the governing equations of the radiative flow of a hybrid nanofluid past a stretched and shrunken surface with the effect of a magnetic dipole are examined in this paper. Here, we consider copper (Cu) and alumina (Al2O3) as hybrid nanoparticles and use water as a base fluid. The heat transfer rate is enhanced in the presence of hybrid nanoparticles. It is observed that the heat transfer rate is increased by 10.92% for the nanofluid, while it has a 15.13% increment for the hybrid nanofluid compared to the base fluid. Also, the results reveal that the non-uniqueness of the solutions exists for a certain suction and shrinking strength. Additionally, the ferrohydrodynamic interaction has the tendency to reduce the skin friction and the heat transfer coefficients for both solution branches. For the upper branch solutions, the heat transfer rate increased over a stretching sheet but decreased for the shrinking sheet in the presence of the radiation. It is confirmed by the temporal stability analysis that one of the solutions is stable and acceptable as time evolves. Full article

Numerical and physical simulations of the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective flow of electrically conducting fluid along avertical magnetized and symmetrically heated plate with slip velocity and thermal slip effects have been performed. The novelty of the present work is to evaluate heat transfer and magnetic flux along the symmetrically magnetized plate with thermal and velocity slip effects. For a smooth algorithm and integration, the linked partial differential equations of the existing fluid flow system are converted into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations with specified streaming features and similarity components. By employing the Keller Box strategy, the modified ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are again translated in a suitable format for numerical results. The MATLAB software is used to compute the numerical results, which are then displayed in graphical and tabular form. The influence of several governing parameters on velocity, temperature distribution and magnetic fields in addition to the friction quantity, magnetic flux and heat transfer quantity has been explored. Computational evaluation is performed along the symmetrically heated plate to evaluate the velocity, magnetic field, and temperature together with their gradients. The selection of the magnetic force element, the buoyancy factor 0<ξ<∞ , and the Prandtl parameter range 0.1≤Pr≤7.0 were used to set the impacts of magnetic energy and diffusion, respectively. In the domains of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), artificial heart wolves, interior heart cavities, and nanoburning systems, the present thermodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic issuesare significant.

The heat transmission in a non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid that combines particles of graphene oxide (GO) and iron dioxide (Fe2O4) with the base fluid chosen as ethylene glycol (EG) is analyzed, including the effects of radiation and magnetic influence. The hybrid nanofluid flow is assumed to be asymmetric because it flows along a horizontal shrinking surface in response to external inducements. The mathematically modelled partial differential equations (PDEs) form is then derived into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by implementing a proper similarity transformation to the PDEs. The mathematical formulation is then algorithmically estimated employing the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The parameters’ effects on the skin friction measurement, local Nusselt number, entropy generation, velocity profile, and temperature profile are investigated and explained. This finding illustrated that the skin friction is augmented between 13.7% and 66.5% with the magnetic field, velocity slips, and the concentration of GO particles. As for the heat transmission ratio, only thermal radiation and velocity slip effects will affect the heat upsurge with the range of 99.8–147% for taken parameter values. The entropy for the shrinking case is found to increase between 16.6% and 43.9% with the magnetic field, velocity slip, and Eckert number. Full article

This numerical analysis aims to observe and analyze the combined convection characteristics of the micropolar tri-hybrid nano-liquid that moves around a cylindrical object, and, in addition, to compare its thermal behavior to that of hybrid and mono nano-fluids. For this purpose, the problem is modeled by developing the Tiwari and Das models, then the governing model is converted into dimensionless expressions, and finally, the problem is solved using the Keller box approximation. The current findings are compared with previously published results to show that the present method is sufficiently accurate for physical and engineering applications. By examining and analyzing the extent to which skin friction, the Nusselt number, velocity, angular velocity, and temperature are affected by some critical factors, the following points are revealed: A greater value of the micropolar and magnetic factors can result in curtailing the heat transmission rate, velocity, and angular velocity. Higher values of the mixed convection factor can contribute to a better rate of energy transfer and can grant the micropolar tri-hybrid nano-liquid a higher velocity. Regardless of the influencing factors, the maximum value of all considered physical groups is achieved by using ternary hybrid nano-liquids. Full article
