MHD Flow of a Williamson Fluid Over an Infinite Rotating Disk with Anisotropic Slip

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

An MHD flow of a Williamson fluid over an infinite rotating disk with the Soret and Dufour effects and an anisotropic slip was investigated. The system of nonlinear partial differential equations governing this flow and the heat and mass transfer in it was rearranged to the ordinary differential equations with the use of the von Kármán similarity transformation. The ordinary differential equations were numerically solved using the MATLAB routine bvp4c.
