This study investigates the flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet using a Darcy-Forchheimer (DF) model. We employ numerical analysis with a copper (Cu) nanofluid suspended in water, considering Cattaneo–Christov heat flow, viscous dissipation, and joule heating. Nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are solved using the bvp4c method in Matlab and we examine the normalized shear stress, temperature profile, and heat flux rate. Our findings reveal insights for practical applications, showing how parameters such as the relaxation Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, Eckert number parameter, and radiation parameter impact system behaviour. |
