Abstract

This study reports the flow of Williamson fluid in a microchannel, considering the effect of thermal radiation, heat source, slip regime, and convective boundary. The physical phenomenon is demonstrated by employing the Williamson model. The mathematical expressions are made dimensionless by using nondimensional quantities. The numerical approach called Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme is hired to get the solution. The upshots of the pertinent flow parameter on physical features are visualized through graphs. It is established that the augmentation of Nusselt number has been achieved by increasing Weissenberg number and Reynolds number. In addition to this, it is emphasized that the reduction in the wall velocity gradient is obtained for a higher Weissenberg number.
