conclusion
In this paper, we have theoretically studied the effects of variable
parameters on Blasius and Sakiadis fluid flow about a flat plate in the
presence of Dufour and Soret effects. The dimensionless differential
Eqs. (9) – (13) were solved numerically to identify the effects of
various variational parameters on the flow structure. The local magnetic
field has shown that flow is retarded in the boundary layer but enhances
temperature and concentration distributions. Dufour effects are
influenced by increase in concentration but reduce both in velocity and
temperature boundary layer thicknesses as the concentration field is
appreciably influenced by the Soret effects\(\mathbf{[7,\ 12]}\). Further studies on the transient
effects will be researched and communicated soonest.
