Mathematical analysis of ferromagnetic fluid embedded in a porous medium

Abstract This article focuses on the impacts of heat transport phenomenon in a ferrofluid in presence of a magnetic dipole. The flow is caused by stretching of the surface. The analysis is disclosed with porous medium and thermal stratification. The characteristics of thermomechanical coupling are computed analytically and numerically. It is depicted that the porous medium has the significant effect in controlling the rate of heat transfer in the boundary layer. Drag coefficient at the surface reduces when larger ratio parameter is considered. Comparison of present study with previous published work is given. The results are found in excellent agreement.
