Unsteady boundary-layer flow and radiative heat transfer over a deformable stretching cylinder with transpiration and slip: cross-validated Akbari-Ganji and finite-element solutions
摘要
A self-similar framework is developed for unsteady boundary-layer flow and nonlinear radiative heat transfer over a deformable stretching cylinder with uniform transpiration, velocity/thermal slip, and full T4 Rosseland radiation. The governing PDEs are reduced to coupled similarity ODEs solved by two independent routes, Akbari–Ganji Method (AGM) with Chebyshev collocation and finite-element method (FEM) with quadratic Lagrange elements, cross-validated against a boundary-value reference within 0.5% for skin friction and 1.2% for Nusselt number. AGM achieves 12–16× computational speedup over FEM. Suction (S = 0.7) increases skin friction by a factor of 3.1 relative to blowing and raises Nusselt number by 74%. Nonlinear radiation (
