Numerical investigation on thermal performance of magnetohydrodynamic lid driven nanofluid flow in a finned porous hexagonal enclosure
Solomon Shiferaw, Mukesh Kumar Sharma, Anil Ahlawat
Discover Mechanical Engineering, 2026
This work numerically examines the thermal behavior of lid-driven magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid (Cu–H 2 O) flow within a porous hexagonal enclosure embedded with two conductive fins. The top wall moves in the $$\:+\text{x}$$ direction of velocity $$\:{\text{U}}_{0}$$ and is maintained at temperature $$\:{\text{T}}_{\text{c}}$$ , while the bottom wall is insulated. The lower slanted walls are imposed at a constant heat flux, whereas the upper slanted walls are adiabatic. The finite difference approach transforms the model equations into a system of algebraic equations that are iteratively solved utilizing relaxation techniques in MATLAB software. Numerical simulations and graphical illustrations are used to analyze flow and heat transfer over a wide range of relevant parameters. The findings demonstrate that increasing the Reynolds and Darcy numbers enhances the heat transfer rate, whereas a stronger magnetic field suppresses it. In addition, the average Nusselt number (Nu av ) along the lower slanted walls, i.e., left and right, upsurges by 10.35% and 13.69%, respectively, as ϕ rises from 0 to 4%. Furthermore, the results indicated that inclusion of wall-mounted fins reduces the Nu av compared to the unfinned case.

Shilpa Chaudhary, Anil Ahlawat, Kaouther Ghachem, Aboulbaba Eladeb, Lioua Kolsi
Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2026
This study focuses on developing a photothermal model for a nonlocal fiber-reinforced semiconductor medium having hyperbolic two-temperature (HTT) under Moore-Gibson-Thompson (MGT) theory of thermoelasticity. The half-space surface is exposed to a moving thermal load. The analytical solutions of the governing equations are derived utilizing the normal mode technique. To visualize the results with graphs, MATLAB software is used to perform numerical calculations. Comparisons are carried out to elucidate the impacts of nonlocality, fiber reinforcement (FR), HTT parameter, velocity of moving thermal load and photothermal transport process on various physical fields. Both load velocity and time have an increasing impact on all physical variables considered, consistent with the generalized thermoelasticity principle. The study also includes a discussion of some particular cases relevant to the problem.

International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow, 2026
Purpose This study aims to focus on investigating the photo-thermo-acoustic interactions within a fiber-reinforced nonlocal semiconductor material using dual-phase-lag (DPL) theory. Design/methodology/approach Basic equations are derived embedding photo-acoustic and thermoelastic principles within a transversely isotropic fiber-reinforced medium. The normal mode technique is used to derive numerical results, allowing for a detailed analysis of thermal load distributions influenced by nonlocality and fiber-reinforcement. Findings Numerical computations and graphical visualizations of the present results are carried out by using MATLAB software. The numerical simulations reveal the significant impacts of nonlocality, fiber-reinforcement and photo-generated carrier life time constant on various physical fields. In addition, all the thermoelastic responses follow generalized thermoelastic principles and time has an augmenting impact on all the considered physical variables. Comparative evaluations with existing models highlight the proposed system’s superior accuracy in depicting the photo-thermo-acoustic behavior of a nonlocal fiber-reinforced materials under dynamic thermal conditions. Originality/value A lot of research has been carried out in recent years on nonlocal thermoelastic medium, but not much attention has been given to study photo-thermo-acoustic interactions in a fiber-reinforced nonlocal semiconductor thermoelastic medium with photo-acoustic effects. These processes are crucial for promoting industrial innovation by improving material evaluation, device creation and health-care sector.

Analysis of photothermal effects on plane waves in a fiber-reinforced magneto-thermoelastic semiconducting medium with hall current under initial stress
Shilpa Chaudhary, Sunita Deswal, Anil Ahlawat
International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow, 2025
Purpose This work aims to accomplished a numerical analysis to examine the impact of photothermal trans-port process on plane waves in a fiber-reinforced magneto-thermoelastic semiconducting medium with Hall current (HC) and initial stress. Design/methodology/approach By using the dual-phase-lag model of generalized ther- moelasticity, the governing equations are articulated. Findings It has been noted that four coupled plane waves propagate through the medium with different speeds. The expressions for amplitude ratios, phase velocities and energy ratios for the reflected waves are deduced by adopting suitable boundary conditions. The results for am- plitude ratios, phase speeds and partition of energy for several values of incident angle are evaluated numerically and demonstrated graphically. Originality/value A lot of research has been carried out in recent years on photothermoelastic medium, but not much attention has been given to study the reflection phenomenon of plane waves in a fiber-reinforced magneto-photothermoelastic medium with HC under initial stress. The numerical results reveal that amplitude ratios are notably affected by the carrier dif- fusion coefficient, HC parameter, initial stress and fiber-reinforcement. Additionally, it is noted that phase speed in the presence of reinforcement depends on the incident angle. Moreover, it is also confirmed that energy remains intact throughout the reflection phenomena.
Magneto-radiative heat transfer and entropy reduction for Ree-Eyring hybrid nanofluid-filled porous hexagonal enclosure embedded with heated obstacles
Shilpa Chaudhary, Mukesh Kumar Sharma, Anil Ahlawat
Physics of Fluids, 2025
The mounting need for renewable energy has highlighted nanotechnology as an alternative for global energy challenges. Therefore, this work explores natural convection and entropy minimization for Ree–Eyring hybrid nanofluid (Ag-MgO/H2O) flow within a porous hexagonal enclosure, considering the combined effects of thermal radiation, magnetic field, and dual heated obstacles. The enclosure features uniformly sized walls with heated from bottom, cooled inclined walls, and an adiabatic top, containing obstacles of size 2L/5 × 2L/5. The discretized system of ensuing equations is efficiently solved employing a hybrid iterative approach combining successive over relaxation, successive under relaxation, and Gauss–Seidel methods. All simulations are performed using in-house Matrix Laboratory codes and validated against existing empirical findings. The influence of flow-regulating parameters is visualized via contour plots, while bar charts provide a comparative analysis of their impact on Nuavg, ST, and Beavg. Thermal radiation parameter (Rd) weakens the impact of Ree–Eyring fluid parameter (α1) and Darcy number (Da) on Nuavg; a rise in α1 from 0.1 to 1 reduces Nuavg by 9.39% at Rd = 0 but only 3.11% at Rd = 5, while the Nuavg drop due to decreasing Da shrinks from 29.97% to 11.95% as Rd increases. Moreover, ST decreases by 1.83% and 1.85% as ϕhnf rises from 0% to 4% at α1 = 0 and 1, respectively. Likewise, reducing “Da” from 10−2 to 10−4 results in a 79.97% drop in ST for α1 = 0 and 70.67% for α1 = 1. Furthermore, improving “Ha” indicates decreasing heat transfer efficiency.

Discover Applied Sciences, 2025
The purpose of current study is to analyze the Darcy–Forchheimer flow of sutterby nanofluid in porous media by accounting for both viscous and inertial effects. This flow model enables accurate modelling for industrial, environmental and biological applications, especially at higher flow rates. In this study, the flow of Sutterby nanofluid over a Riga plate is discussed, considering chemical reaction and heat radiation effects in the presence of first-order velocity slip. The nonlinear partial differential equations of this study are tackled by the application of the suitable transformations, which results in a new set of ordinary differential equations. The derived equations are subsequently analysed by an analytical methodology, the Homotopy Analysis Method. The impact of the acquired parameters on velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, and motile microbe distribution is well detailed through diagrams and tables. The results indicate that the velocity of Sutterby nanofluid elevates with the change of the Deborah number. The temperature of Sutterby nanofluid grows with a higher heat generation parameter. The concentration of nanoparticles raises with an elevated solutal Biot number. The profiles of microorganisms drop as the bioconvection Lewis number improves. Also, current modelling offers initial guidance for various biotechnological and industrial uses.
