Comprehensive analysis of integer-order, Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) and Atangana-Baleanu (ABC) fractional time derivative for MHD Oldroyd-B fluid with slip effect and time dependent boundary condition

This article is focused on the slip effect in the unsteady flow of MHD Oldroyd-B fluid over a moving vertical plate with velocity Uₒf(t). The Laplace transformation and inversion algorithm are used to evaluate the expression for fluid velocity and shear stress. Fractional time derivatives are used to analyze the impact of fractional parameters (memory effect) on the dynamics of the fluid. While making a comparison, it is observed that the fractional-order model is best to explain the memory effect as compared to the classical model. The behavior of slip condition as well as no-slip condition is discussed with all physical quantities. The influence of dimensionless physical parameters like magnetic force M, retardation time λᵣ, fractional parameter α, and relaxation time λ on fluid velocity has been discussed through graphical illustration. Our results suggest that the velocity field decreases by increasing the value of the magnetic field. In the absence of a slip parameter, the strength of the magnetic field is maximum. Furthermore, it is noted that the Atangana-Baleanu derivative in Caputo sense (ABC) is the best to highlight the dynamics of the fluid.
