Significance of biomagnetic fluid flow with Ni-ZnFe₂O₄ particle over a wedge in the presence of a magnetic dipole

In engineering and medical applications, heat flow and transfer over a wedge are important phenomena that happen often. Consequently, it is important to look at the fluid’s heat and flow properties over a wedge. In the presence of a magnetic dipole, this study investigated the flow and heat transfer of a biomagnetic fluid containing magnetic particles over a wedge. Furthermore, in this inquiry, blood is taken into account as the base fluid and Ni-ZnFe₂O₄ as the magnetic particles. The controlling partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using suitable-self similarity variables. These equations are then solved in MATLAB using the bvp4c technique. The impact of physical parameters, such as ferromagnetic interaction, power-law index, and particle volume fraction is visually displayed for temperature, velocity profiles, and the rate of heat transfer, skin friction. The calculated findings show that the power-law index parameter increases fluid velocity while the ferromagnetic interaction parameter and particle volume fraction decrease it. Additionally, it is shown that while skin friction and the rate of heat transfer decrease with increasing ferromagnetic interaction parameter values. Analysis of these phenomena is intended to aid in the identification of potential real-world applications in a variety of engineering domains, such as magnetic drug delivery, cancer treatment, and reduction of blood flow during surgeries. Numerical results have been compared with prior research to assess the accuracy of the current model and have been determined to be an excellent agreement.
