Abstract
The thermal behavior of an electrically non-conducting magnetic liquid flowing over a stretching cylinder under the influence of a magnetic dipole is considered. The governing nonlinear differential equations are solved numerically using a finite element approach, which is properly validated through comparison with earlier results available in the literature. The results for the velocity and temperature fields are provided for different values of the Reynolds number, ferromagnetic response number, Prandtl number, and viscous dissipation parameter. The influence of some physical parameters on skin friction and heat transfer on the walls of the cylinder is also investigated. The applicability of this research to heat control in electronic devices is discussed to a certain extent.Graphic Abstract

Ferrofluids are synthetically developed and comprise magnetic nanoparticles, non-conducting carrier liquids, and surfactants. The role of surfactants is to prevent the nanoparticles from accumulating. In the dearth of a magnetic field, the behavior of ferrofluid is like a normal fluid. Nevertheless, when exposed to a magnetic field, the fluid magnetizes and the magnetization changes the thermal characteristics of ferrofluid. Based on the thermomagnetic behavior of ferrofluid and magnetization force, the researchers have shown different types of practical applications of ferrofluid in the field of engineering and medical science [1–5].
In this section, different physical aspects investigated by researchers for the flow over an elongated cylinder are presented. Wang [6] presented a theoretical model for the passing of viscous material outside a stretched cylinder. To calculate the fluid velocity and pressure fields, he devised an analytical solution and derived equations. In addition, he provided numerical evidence to support his solution. Usman et al. [7] evaluated the effects of thermal and velocity slippage on Casson nanofluid stream over an inclined permeable stretched cylinder using a collocation method. This includes looking into how slip parameters, the Prandtl number, and the Casson parameter affect flow characteristics. They also presented numerical results to validate their solutions. Tlili et al. [8] investigated the effects of various slip parameters on MHD non-Newtonian nanofluids passing over a stretched cylinder in a porous medium with radiation and chemical reaction. This included studying the effects of radiation, chemical reaction, and slip parameters on the temperature, concentration, and velocity fields of nanofluids. Fang et al. [9] concluded that a similarity transformation framework can be used to describe unsteady viscous flux over an expanding elongated cylinder. They demonstrated that the Reynolds and Weber numbers influence the shapes of velocity distributions near the stretching surface. Munawar et al. [10] investigated the thermal behavior of an oscillatory stretching cylinder. They developed a numerical scheme based on boundary layer theory and investigated how to flow parameters such as Reynolds number and oscillation frequency affect system heat transfer Replace Munawar By Ishak et al. [11] constructed the model for magnetohydrodynamic glide and heat transmission caused by stretching cylinder. Wang et al. [12] researched the slipstream over a stretching cylinder and obtained the asymptotic solution large radius of the cylinder. Ishak et al. [13] considered the impact of suction and injection on the flow due to a stretched cylinder and solved similarity equations numerically using the finite difference method. Similar flow with different fluid and physical properties was investigated by researchers [14–16]. Chu et al. [17] used Roseland approximation for the thermal behavior of hybrid ferrofluid and implemented the control volume finite element method (CVFEM) to obtain the solution. Kumar et al. [18] investigated the influence of single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes on the Maxwell nanofluid flow in the presence of magnetic dipole. Hashmi et al. [19] studied the Oldroyd-B fluid flow over a stretchable disk and measured the influence of Joule heating and chemical reaction. Khan et al. [20] used the concept of fractional derivative to investigate the convective flow and heat transfer between two parallel plates.
This section presents the description of different techniques used by researchers to obtain the solution of similarity equations. Malik et al. [21] implemented the RKF algorithm to solve similarity equations of the Sisko glide of fluid due to stretching cylinder. Kumar et al. [22] employed the RKF fourth-fifth order algorithm to find the numerical solution of ferromagnetic nanofluid flux over a stretched cylinder. Bilal et al. [23] solved the similarity equations through the shooting iteration method for the glide of Williamson nanofluid fluid due to the stretching cylinder. Bhandari [24] has used the finite element methodology to measure the consequences of radiation and chemical reaction for the magnetohydrodynamic flux of nanofluid over a stretched sheet. Some of the numerical techniques have been used by researchers to procure the solution of nonlinear related differential equations for the flow over a stretching cylinder [25–28]. Salahuddin et al. [29] investigated the flow of hybrid nano liquid over a highly magnetized heated cylinder. Salahuddin et al. [30] looked into the heat and mass transfer characteristics of viscoelastic fluid flow in the vicinity of forward and infrequent stagnation spots in two dimensions. Ullah et al. [31] studied oscillatory mixed convection stratified fluid and heat transfer properties at various stations of a non-conducting horizontally circular cylinder in the presence of a thermally stratified medium. Song et al. [32] analyzed the bioconvective flow over a stretching cylinder and measured the role of microorganisms parameters in the flow. Kumar et al. [33] studied the boundary layer flow of Prandtl fluid due to stretching surface and used similarity transformation to obtain a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations from the governing equations. On magnetic fluid flow across vertically stretched porous material, Kalaivanan et al. [34] looked into the effects of buoyancy force and activation energy. To research the impact of radiation and Joule heating, Naseem et al. [35] explored Eyring-Powel fluid flow across an exponentially stretched sheet.
The ferrohydrodynamic flow over a stretched cylinder is significant because it allows for a better understanding of how different magnetized fluids behave upon the existence of a magnetic field. This understanding can be used to develop more efficient methods of controlling and manipulating fluids in a variety of applications, such as energy conservation, drug delivery, and waste management. Furthermore, modeling ferrofluid flow provides insight into the consequences of a variety of parameters such as temperature, viscosity, and magnetism on the motion of ferrofluids, which is important for a variety of applications. The above-stated literature assessment shows that almost all of the research papers were communicated on the flow of ordinary viscous fluid and conducting magnetic fluid over a stretched cylinder. In this paper, the model for the flow of ferrofluid over a stretching cylinder is developed in the emergence of a bipolar magnet. The governing equations of the flow are converted into non-dimensional forms using similarity variables. The transformed nonlinear equations are solved numerically by finite element techniques in COMSOL Multiphysics and the model is validated with the previous numerical models.

3 Problem Solution and Its Validation
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a numerical procedure for addressing differential equations associated with physical phenomena in the COMSOL Multiphysics software. The FEM divides the entire domain into elements and then approximates the equation solutions. Using variational calculus, linear algebra, and numerical integration techniques, a system of linear equations is derived from the differential equations, leading to an approximate solution at the element nodes. COMSOL Multiphysics finite element procedure is exercised to simulate an extensive range of physical phenomena by utilizing advanced features such as adaptive meshing, visualization tools, and parametric studies. To implement the confined element approach in COMSOL Multiphysics, we reduce the order of the differential equations.
Eqs. (13)–(15) are reduced using the transformation
