Abstract

Varatharaj K is a researcher in mathematics whose publication record encompasses computational mathematics and mathematical modelling of transport phenomena and nonlinear dynamical systems. The documented research includes analytical and numerical investigations of Casson and Jeffrey nanofluids, heat and mass transfer, porous media, thermal radiation, magnetohydrodynamic flow, activation energy, and computational intelligence. Recent work extends these themes toward physics-informed computational modelling and neural-network-based time-series prediction. [2][3] A further research direction concerns fractional-order adaptive and robust sliding-mode control for predefined-time synchronization of hyper-chaotic convection systems, connecting mathematical analysis with control theory and complex dynamical behaviour.

Introduction

Mathematical modelling provides a framework for representing physical processes through differential equations, numerical methods, computational algorithms, and analytical approximations. Within this broad discipline, the mathematical study of non-Newtonian fluids and nanoscale heat-transfer systems has applications in engineering, thermal management, energy systems, and transport analysis. The publications associated with Varatharaj K address these topics through combinations of numerical computation, analytical formulation, artificial neural networks, and contemporary computational modelling approaches.

Research Contributions

A notable theme in the publication record is the mathematical treatment of non-Newtonian nanofluid flow. Research on Casson nanofluids considers heat and mass transfer under conditions such as linear and nonlinear stretching surfaces and activation energy. These models are relevant to the mathematical description of coupled momentum and thermal transport problems. [4]

The research also incorporates artificial neural networks as computational tools for time-series modelling. The reported Casson–Jeffrey nanofluid study combines numerical analysis with artificial neural-network modelling, demonstrating an approach in which conventional computational solutions can be complemented by data-driven approximation.
