Unsteady Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convection Flow of a Second Grade Fluid in a Porous Medium with Ramped Wall Temperature

Magnetic field influence on unsteady free convection flow of a second grade fluid near an infinite vertical flat plate with ramped wall temperature embedded in a porous medium is studied. It has been observed that magnitude of velocity as well as skin friction in case of ramped temperature is quite less than the isothermal temperature. Some special cases namely: (i) second grade fluid in the ab...

Exact Solutions for Unsteady Magnetohydrodynamic Oscillatory Flow of a Maxwell Fluid in a Porous Medium

In this paper, exact solutions of velocity and stresses are obtained for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Maxwell fluid in a porous half space by the Laplace transform method. The flows are caused by the cosine and sine oscillations of a plate. The derived steady and transient solutions satisfy the involved differential equations and the given conditions. Graphs for steady-state and tran...

Magnetohydrodynamic unsteady flow of a non - Newtonian fluid through a porous medium

In this paper, the unsteady flow of non-Newtonian fluid through a porous medium when an external magnetic field is applied is investigated. The non linear equation of motion is transformed to a similarity differential equation which is solved using the method of successive approximations. The rheological effects are shown and discussed on the velocity profile in terms of rheological parameter o...

Unsteady free convection oscillatory couette flow through a variable porous medium with concentration profile

In this paper we have studied the effect of free convection on the heat transfer and flow through variable porous medium which is bounded by two vertical parallel porous plates. In this study it is assume that free stream velocity oscillates with time about a constant mean. Periodic temperature is considered in the moving plate. Effect of different parameters on mean flow velocity, Transient ve...
