NUMERICAL STUDY OF DOUBLE-DIFFUSIVE FREE CONVECTIVE FLOW PAST A MOVING VERTICAL CYLINDER

The double-diffusive free convective flow past a moving semi-infinite vertical cylinder has been studied numerically. The mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration equations have been solved by a finite difference method using an implicit scheme of Crank-Nicolson type. The finite difference scheme is unconditionally stable and accurate. Graphical results for the velocity, temperature, concentration, local and average skin friction, and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are illustrated and discussed for various physical parametric values. The role of temperature stratification in the ambient medium has been analyzed.
