Mathematical modelling on MHD flow of a Nanofluid over a stretching / shrinking wall using BVP4C / Afiqah Baharudin, Nur Aina Aqiela Mohd Zam and Nurin Batrisyia Abd Aziz

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) combined electrodynamics and fluid dynamics, introducing fundamental ideas in fluid dynamics such as boundary layer and stagnation point flow. This study was initiated due to an insufficient number of investigations focusing on how MHD flows on nanofluids are affected by stretching/shrinking walls. Additionally, most studies concentrated on hybrid nanofluids in general and did not utilize the BVP4C method to solve the problems in their studies. The objectives of this study were to determine the mathematical model for MHD flow of nanofluids driven by stretching/shrinking walls, to compare the results using BVP4C, and to analyse the obtained numerical solution. To derive the mathematical model, the partial differential equation was transformed into an ordinary differential equation for problem solving. Numerical results were obtained using BVP4C in MATLAB software.
