Abstract: This study investigates the characteristics of an unsteady, incompressible, and electrically conductive flow. The flow consists of 𝐻 2 𝑂 based nanofluid that contains suspended sphere-shaped 𝐶 𝑢 nanoparticles . The flow occurs across an oscillating and porous vertical plate. Simultaneous non-dimensional governing partial differential equations are solved by 𝑝 𝑑 𝑒 𝑝 𝑒 solver in MATLAB 22a, accounting for thermophysical properties and relevant parameters. We analyzed the behavior of the 𝐶 𝑢 - 𝐻 2 𝑂 nanofluid in relation to various fundamental parameters, including thermal buoyancy force , kinetic energy, thermal conductivity , volume fraction of nanoparticles , and time. Additionally, we determined the rate of local heat transfer and skin friction of the Cu-water nanofluid, presenting the results in tabular form . Our findings were compared with previously reported results to validate the accuracy and reliability of the 𝑝 𝑑 𝑒 𝑝 𝑒 solver. The 𝑝 𝑑 𝑒 𝑝 𝑒 solver in MATLAB is a straightforward and convenient tool for simulating and visualizing models, It is an alternative method for solving IBVP of parabolic & hyperbolic.
