摘要：
An analysis is performed to study unsteady free convective boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a vertical cylinder. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing equations are formulated and a numerical solution is obtained by using an explicit finite-difference scheme of the Crank-Nicolson type. The solutions at each time step have been found to reach the steady state solution properly. Numerical results for the steady-state velocity, temperature and nanoparticles volume fraction profiles as well as the axial distributions and the time histories of the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are presented graphically and discussed.
