Numerical analysis of particulate Reiner-Rivlin flow in an asymmetric convergent channel with a heat source and magnetic field

The goal of the current investigation is to examine the impact of magnetic field and heat source effects on a Reiner-Rivlin particulate flow through an asymmetric channel (convergent channel). The transformed governing equations are solved by employing the shooting technique with the RK4 method. To check the convergence of the computational results, a grid independence test has been performed. The impact of influential parameters on fluid as well as particle phases of velocity and temperature fields have been analyzed graphically. The present results exactly match previously published results in some limited cases. As the Reynolds number and magnetic parameter increase, the fluid phase velocity increases on the left side and decreases on the right part of the channel. Different fields, including metal steam resistors, paper production, and fibre suspension, are significantly impacted by the magnetic field's effect on Reiner-Rivlin fluid through asymmetric channels.
