- Abstract
This paper demonstrates the non-Newtonian flow behavior of a nanofluid under the permeability of a porous medium. In particular, this investigation focused on the flow properties of Silica (SiO2) nanofluid subject to the buoyancy driven Casson fluid flow. The volume fraction of nanoparticles influences the velocity and temperature field. The higher percentage of volume fraction thickens the thermal boundary layer which in turn reduces the growth of velocity boundary layer. The effects of rheological parameters such as Prandtl number, thermal Grashof number, permeability, Casson parameter, Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient has been explored abundantly. The quantitative comparison of this study with the already existing results produces an excellent correlation.
