Abstract

In the present study, we consider Casson fluid flow between two porous plates with permeability criteria in the presence of heat transfer and magnetic effect. A proper set of similarity transformations simplify the Navier-Stokes equations to non-linear ODEs with boundary conditions. The homotopy perturbation method is an efficient and stable method which is used to get solutions. Further, the results obtained are compared with the solution computed through an effective and efficient finite difference approach. The purpose of this analysis is to study the four different cases arise viz: suction, injection, mixed suction and mixed injection in this problem, along with magnetic effect and heat transfer characteristics. The results obtained are used to analyse the fluid velocity and temperature profiles, and the skin friction at the upper and lower plate by using both methods are displayed in the form of figures and tables. The semi-analytical solution obtained is in good agreement with the numerical solution.
