Brownian motion and thermophoresis influence in magnetized Maxwell upper-convected stagnation point fluid flow via a stretching porous surface

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This article focuses on the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis convection in the stagnation point flow of a Maxwell upper-convected fluid over a non-Darcian porous surface with slip conditions and a magnetic inclination effect. The Maxwell dissipative fluid accounts for Joule heating due to an imposed magnetic field and porous medium resistance. At the same time, the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model represents thermal relaxation in contrast to the conventional Fourier law. The resulting nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using similarity variables. The analysis revealed the influence of dimensionless numbers, including Deborah, Eckert, Prandtl, chemical reaction, thermal relaxation, inclination and slip parameters. The findings were presented using graphs and tables. An increase in the thermophoresis parameter notably led to higher concentration and temperature profiles. In contrast, increasing Brownian motion (Nb) decreased the solutal boundary layer thickness but enhanced the thermal boundary layer.
