Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to develop a mathematical model featuring Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The idea of curved stretching subjected to time-dependent non-Newtonian (Sisko) fluid flow is introduced.
Design/methodology/approach
Shooting scheme is implemented to compute nonlinear systems.
Findings
Velocity profile of Sisko magnetonanofluid enhances for augmented values of curvature parameter.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such analysis has yet been reported.
