Viscoelastic fluids, such as polymers, paints, and DNA suspensions, are almost everywhere and very useful in the industry. This article aims to study the significance of ramped temperature in the dynamics of viscoelastic fluid. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect is considered in the presence of Lorentz force. The flow is considered in a porous medium using generalized Darcy’s law. Heat transfers through convection, and the fluid near the plate takes heat in a ramped nature. Instead of the classical fluid model which has certain limitations, a generalized model is considered with fractional derivatives of the Atangana–Baleanu type. The well-known technique of Laplace transform was adopted to obtain the solutions which are displayed in various plots with detailed discussion analysis. From the graphical analysis, it is worth noting that the Atangana–Baleanu fractional model shows a good memory effect on the dynamics of the viscoelastic fluid as compared to its classical form.
1 Introduction
Viscoelastic fluids (VFs) form a subclass of non-Newtonian fluids such as the blend of a solvent and some polymer. Other examples include paints, DNA suspensions, some biological fluids, and other products from the chemical industry. One of the well-known examples from the list of VFs is an Oldroyd-B fluid (OBF). Due to the non-linear relationship between stress and rate of strain, OBF has the same nature as that of a non-Newtonian fluid. The idea of OBF was introduced in 1950, in the pioneering work [1]. The OBF has many applications in fluid dynamics. This model is the generalization of the Maxwell model. Many researchers analyzed OBFs based on their real-world applications: the authors in Ref. [2] studied unsteady OBF over a vertical plate in a porous medium. The authors in Ref. [3] analyzed the influence of generalized OBFs using numerical simulations. The authors in Ref. [4] developed analytical and numerical solutions of a two-dimensional multi-term time‐fractional OBF model. The authors in Ref. [5] considered generalized OBF flow between two infinite parallel rigid plates and numerically simulated the results. In the literature, the flow of Oldroyd-B is less investigated using ramped wall velocity and temperature. These fluids have many applications in different practical situations and real-world problems [6]. Some researchers tried to investigate ramped wall velocity and temperature in their studies. The authors in Ref. [7] examined natural convection in polyethylene glycol-based molybdenum disulfide nanofluid under ramped wall condition and other additional effects. The authors in Ref. [8] discussed ramped wall temperature and ramped wall concentration with the Hall effect in an unsteady MHD flow of a second-grade fluid through a porous medium. The authors in Ref. [9] developed a general solution of MHD free convection flows over a vertical plate with ramped wall temperature. The authors in Ref. [10] examined entropy generation in MHD flow over a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium. The authors in Ref. [11] considered ramped wall temperature conditions and studied irreversibility analysis in time-dependent flow past a plate (vertical) with arbitrary wall shear stress. The authors in Ref. [12] studied MHD flow over an inclined plate under a conjugate effect and ramped wall temperature condition in a porous medium.
Recently, many fractional derivative operators have been used for different scientific reasons in the field of fluid dynamics and in many other dynamical systems. Some of these applications are found in fractional-order neurons for parameter estimation, fractional viscoelasticity models, fractional single-phase-lag models of heat conduction, and the eigenproblem of molecular alignment, as discussed in Ref. [13] and in many other references. Sene [14, 15] used fractional derivatives and developed two different fluid models. He obtained exact analytical solutions and plotted results graphically with a detailed discussion analysis. In Ref. [16], the authors studied fractional derivatives together with their various applications in reservoir engineering problems. In Ref. [17], the authors investigated radial basis functions using a fractional derivative approach. In Ref. [18],the authors applied fractional derivatives in the field of physics and modern sciences. In Ref. [19],the authors discussed the theory of fractional derivatives and its application in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. In Ref. [20],the authors introduced new fractional derivatives (AB fractional derivatives) with non-local and no-singular kernel. They presented some useful and important properties of the new derivative with application in a fractional heat transfer model. After that, this new idea was applied to several other problems. In Ref. [21], the authors applied the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo sense to the convective flow of CMC-based CNT nanofluid in a vertical microchannel. In Ref. [22],the authors studied the magnetic field effect on the convection flow of Newtonian viscous fluid past a moving plate such that its temperature is constant at the boundary and its concentration depends on time. The problem is modeled using the Caputo–Fabrizio time fractional derivative. In Ref. [23], the authors used the Caputo time-fractional derivative and examined the natural convection flow through a vertical cylinder. In Ref. [24], Sheikh et al. provided a comparative analysis of Caputo–Fibrizio and Atangana–Baleanu derivatives for a generalized Casson fluid model with heat generation and chemical reaction.
In this work, the idea of fractional derivatives (Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo sense) is applied to develop a fractional model of OBF. The OBF is considered as electrically conducting and passing through a porous medium. The flow is considered over a vertical plate with ramped heating, which sufficiently influences thermal analysis and the flow itself due to the involvement of convection term in momentum equation (25). This article is arranged in the following sections. Section 2 includes the mathematical modeling of the problem. The governing equations are derived from the constitutive equations of OBF. Initial and boundary conditions are defined. The next section (Section 3) includes solution methodology with a basic definition of the AB fractional derivatives. The solution of energy equation is given in sub-Section 3.1, and the solution of momentum equation is given in sub-Section 3.2. The results are computed and plotted in Section 4 with a detailed discussion analysis. At the end, conclusion remarks are added in Section 5.
