Numerical Solution to Effect of Chemical Reaction on a Casson Fluid Flow over a Vertical Porous Surface

Abstract

In this chapter we study the effect of chemical reaction by considering the flow of a casson fluid which is having lot of importance. The fluid flow is over a vertical porous surface. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. The reduced system of equations is then solved using an implicit FDM known as the Keller Box method. The velocity and concentration profiles are examined for various changes in the different governing parameters like the Casson parameter, suction parameter, Grashof number and the Schmidt number.
