Elastico–Viscous Boundary Layer Flow Over A Wedge Incorporating Nanofluid Interaction Effects
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The present discourse delineates a rigorous examination of steady elastico–viscous boundary layer flow past a wedge embedded within a nanofluid environment under a uniform free-stream velocity. The framework imposes isothermal boundary conditions alongside a pre-scribed homogeneous quantifiable measure of nanoparticle occupancy relative to the total fluidic domain at the stretching interface. The governing relations for the coupled mechanisms of momentum transfer, thermo-energetic diffusion, and nanoparticle volumetric stratification are constructed via Walter’s liquid model B/ synergistically coupled with the Kuznetsov–Nield nanofluid formulation [27-28]. Through the application of similarity transformations, augmented by appropriate boundary constraints, the system is reformulated as a nonlinear system of ordinary differential relations, subsequently addressed via the bvp4c numerical integrator embedded within MATLAB. The outcomes underscore the decisive role of the elastico–viscous parameter in modulating velocity, thermal, and concentration distributions, while simultaneously elucidating the coupled dynamics of the conjoint modulation of hydrodynamic, thermo-diffusive, and concentration stratified layers in shaping the overall transport phenomena of the system.
