Unsteady Hydromagnetic Natural Convection Flow Past an Oscillating Vertical Surface with Hall Effect and Convective Boundary Condition

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of Hall current on unsteady MHD free convection flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an oscillating vertical plate with convective boundary condition. The fluid flow is due to both the oscillation and the convective heating of the plate. The resulting governing equations are nondimensionalized and solved analytically using the Laplace transform technique. Numerical results for axial and transverse velocities and temperature as well as the skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number are shown graphically for various values of pertinent flow parameters.
