The main objective of this investigation is to deliberate the novel analysis of buoyancy-driven nanofluid flow across a vertical stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with the consideration of an inclined magnetic field and heating effects caused by viscosity, thermal radiations, and heat source factor. A material made of glass ball is applied as the porous medium. Water is regarded as a base fluid, while carbon nanotubes are termed as the nanoparticles. The governing equations are formulated by employing fundamental laws. With the application of appropriate non-similar transformations, the emerging flow system is translated into dimensionless differential form. The obtained coupled, non-similar system of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) is tackled by employing local non-similarity technique up to second level of iterations in conjunction with the Lobatto III technique in MATLAB. According to the findings, increasing the Hartmann number diminishes fluid velocity while augmentation in radiation parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction raises the temperature profile. Moreover, nanofluids contain MWCNTs as such nanoparticles exhibit larger estimations of Nusselt number than SWCNTs-water nanofluid. Authors introduced appropriate transformations for considered problem and argued the local non-similarity approach for simulating the dimensionless structure. To the best of authors' observations, no such study is yet published in literature.
