Description
Summary:Nanofluid, a significant branch of fluid mechanics, plays a pivotal role in thermal management, optics, biomedical engineering, energy harvesting, and other fields. The nanoparticles present in the fluid render the continuum mechanics ineffective, necessitating the adoption of fractional calculus to elucidate the effects of nanoparticles on the motion properties of the nanofluid. This article applies the modified extended tanh-function technique to solve two classical Schrödinger equations, the fractional Phi-4 model and the conformable fractional Boussinesq model, for nanofluids. Multiple exact solutions are obtained, and the corresponding graphical representations are provided to elucidate the basic properties of the nanofluid. This article provides new research perspectives for the development of nanofluids.
