Effect of thermal radiation on an unsteady MHD flow over an impulse vertical infinite plate with variant temperature in existence of Hall current

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, the effects of thermal radiation on unsteady MHD flow viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable temperature and constant mass diffusion in the presence of Hall current have been presented. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations of the flow have been solved numerically by using the Galerkin finite element method. The numerical solutions for fluid velocity, angular velocity, temperature, and concentration are represented graphically whereas the numerical results of primary skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer are presented in tabular form for various parameters involved. The current results were compared to the existing analytical solution based on the Crank–Nicolson implicit finite difference technique. The current study's findings have been shown to be extremely consistent with earlier findings.
