Abstract

The current research problem deals with fluid flows that are electrically conducting known as Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) flow, viscous oscillatory and stratified fluid in a vertical long small geometry rectangular channel that has permeable property with one side being porous and the other side being nonporous. Corresponding fluid flow equations are simplified and hence solved by applying Lubrication approximation by using similarity transformation. The interpretations of the influences of various quantities that are involved to the problem on velocity profiles, pressure and density distributions are explained in detail. The results of the research problem shows that the Magnetohydrodynamic parameter encourages backflow nearer to the boundaries of the channel while permeability parameter influences the flow differently for axial and transverse velocity profiles. The results for =0 reduces to the results that are already available in the literature.
