Abstract

Numerical Investigation of Unsteady MHD Free Convective Flow Past an Oscillating Vertical Porous Plate with Oscillatory Heat Flux

Highlights

  • IntroductionMagneto hydrodynamic free convection flow through porous media are very important in the fields of petroleum technology for the flow of oil through porous rocks, in chemical engineering for the purification and filtration processes and in the cases like drug permeation through human skin

  • It was found that minimal work has been reported on investigation of the same using Finite Difference Method. For this reason we have addressed the effects of varying radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, and suction parameter and of Darcy number on fluid velocity and temperature distribution on MAGNETO HYDRODYNAMICS (MHD) free convective flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in a vertical channel with an oscillatory heat flux in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field by Finite Difference Method

  • We have presented the non-dimensional velocity u and temperature θ for several values of magnetic parameter M2, Radiation parameter R, Darcy number Da, Prandtl number Pr and Suction parameter S

Summary

Introduction

Magneto hydrodynamic free convection flow through porous media are very important in the fields of petroleum technology for the flow of oil through porous rocks, in chemical engineering for the purification and filtration processes and in the cases like drug permeation through human skin. The principles of this subject are very useful in recovering the water for drinking and irrigation purposes. The ionized gas or plasma can be made to interact with the magnetic field and alter heat transfer and friction characteristic.
