Effects of thermal radiation on Casson flow heat and mass transfer around a circular cylinder in porous medium

This paper deals with a theoretical investigation of flow and heat transfer of a Casson fluid from a horizontal circular cylinder in a non-Darcy porous medium under the action of slips and thermal radiation parameters. A model of Casson fluid flow for a circular cylinder has been developed to simulate the transport phenomena. The numerical solution has been obtained for the dimensionless velocity and temperature of the Casson fluid. The effects of various important parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature as well as on the skin friction and the dimensionless heat transfer rates are investigated and presented graphically. A comparison with previous published data has been done and we found a good agreement with them.
