Unsteady MHD dusty fluid flow over a cone in the vicinity of porous medium: a numerical study

This research presents an unsteady free convection magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) dusty fluid flow over a vertical cone enclosed inside a porous medium. The Crank-Nicolson approach is used to get the numerical solutions for these non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs). The velocity and temperature distributions are graphed numerically for a wide range of physical parameters to highlight important characteristics of the solutions. The results showed that increasing the porosity parameter leads to a rise in the velocity profile for the fluid and dust phases, while doing the reverse with the rise of the magnetic parameter, fluid-particle interaction parameter, and mass concentration of the particle phase parameter. Additionally, it is shown that the temperature profile rises as the magnetic parameter and the mass concentration of particle phase parameter grow, whereas the fluid-particle interaction parameter and porosity parameter show the opposite tendency.
