Unsteady MHD flow of a dusty non-Newtonian Bingham fluid through a circular pipe

Abstract

In this paper, the transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a dusty incompressible electrically conducting non-Newtonian Bingham fluid through a circular pipe is studied taking the Hall effect into consideration. A constant pressure gradient in the axial direction and an uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the flow direction are applied. The particle-phase is assumed to behave as a viscous fluid. A numerical solution is obtained for the governing nonlinear equations using finite differences.
