Abstract

The primary goal of the current investigation is to understand the thixotropic nanofluid’s magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nonlinear convective flow. The implementation of appropriate transformations allows for the transition of sets of ordinary differential equations from partial differential systems. Spectral Quasi-Linearization Method (SQLM) is applied to solve these ODEs. Further study has been performed in order to establish a model for nanomaterials containing thermophoresis phenomena and Brownian motion. Graphs are used to depict and discuss the effects caused due to numerous quantities of fluid flow, temperature, environment, and nanoparticle concentration. In addition to this, the local Nusselt number, the skin friction coefficient, as well as the Sherwood number's numerical values, are determined and examined. Some interesting observations on velocity, heat, and concentration have been observed due to the variation made in thixotropic parameters and other allied parameters such as thermophoresis and Brownian motion.
