Numerical simulation of MHD Sakiadis flows of convectively heated thixotropic nanofluids in a porous medium using revised transport laws and Wakif-Buongiorno's model by A. Wakif

“…Due to the particular inability of Fourier's and Fick's laws in the realistic quantification of transfer processes that can occur certainly within a flowing biphasic mixture, on the one hand, and the explanation of the memory relaxation features of such a non-homogenous medium, on the other hand, the present scrutinization intends to propose a representative biphasic flow model to reveal the principal demeanors of convectively heated thixotropic nanofluids during their steady two-dimensional flows in the laminar regime over a stretching planar geometry in a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium under the magnetic impact of an external electromagnetic device. …”
