Viscoelastic fluid flow over a horizontal flat plate with various boundary slip conditions and suction effects.

This study examines the numerical representation of fluid flow on the Maxwell model in a double-diffusive boundary layer over a horizontal plate. The investigation incorporates slip conditions, encompassing momentum slip, thermal slip, and suction parameters. Moreover, the study includes the inspiration of thermal radiation, heat generation, and mass transfer. The governing partial differential equations (pertaining to momentum, continuity, energy transport, and mass transport) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformations. To solve these equations in conjunction with suitable boundary conditions, the bvp4c inbuilt software is implemented. This is achieved through the shooting approach employed in MATLAB. A comprehensive agreement between the numerical technique and previously published findings demonstrates its efficacy. The outcomes are presented through graphical representations and tables, showcasing various parameters such as momentum slip, temperature slip, local Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and suction parameter. The primary motivation of this research lies in investigating the behaviour of Maxwell fluid flow in the absence of slip conditions. The study of Maxwell fluid flow over a flat plate with the combined effects of suction, thermal slip, and momentum slip conditions has a wide range of practical applications that span multiple industries, contributing to improved designs, efficiency, and understanding of fluid behaviour in various systems. The main aim of this study is to present streamlined results under varying conditions, explicitly investigating the influence of suction effects and slip conditions on the flow.
