Exploration of heat and mass transfer in the convective slip flow of non-Newtonian Casson fluid (Q1794622)

Casson fluid is a kind of shear-thinning fluid with yield stress. The authors explore plane convective flow of such fluid through a porous plane with heat source. Additionally, chemical reaction takes place while the fluid flows through the membrane. The problem is solved by finite difference method; more precisely, the Crank-Nicolson scheme is applied. The discretization of governing equations leads to a linear equations system that is solved in MATLAB. Then the authors study how the solution depends on such non-dimensional parameters as Grashof, Schmidt, Biot numbers and so on.
