On spectral relaxation method for an MHD flow and heat transfer of a Maxwell fluid

نویسنده

چکیده

The present study investigates magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of a Maxwell fluid using a spectral relaxation method. The method is based on simple iteration schemes formed by reduction of the order of the momentum equation followed by a rearrangement of the resulting governing nonlinear equation systems which are then solved using spectral methods. The effect of the flow parameters on the velocity and temperature of the flow were investigated. The results were validated using the bvp4c where the spectral relaxation method was found to be accurate and rapidly convergent to the numerical results. Keywords—MHD flow, Maxwell fluid, spectral relaxation method, spectral method
