The present paper analyzes the MHD effects on the steady free convective boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid over a linearly moving porous vertical semi-infinite plate with suction and viscous dissipation. The governing boundary layer equations are reduced to a two-point boundary value problem using similarity transformations. The resultant problem is solved numerically using ...

The purpose of this study is to approximate the stream function and temperature distribution of the MHD flow in a laminar liquid film from a horizontal stretching surface. In this paper DTM-Padé method was used which is a combination of differential transform method DTM and Padé approximant. The DTM solutions are only valid for small values of independent variables. Comparison between the solut...

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the science of the motion of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field, consists essentially of the interaction between the fluid velocity and the magnetic field. Electric currents induced in the fluid as a result of its motion modify the field; at the same time their flow in the magnetic field leads to mechanical forces which modify the mo...

Accelerated atherosclerosis is the major cause of mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and endothelial injury associated with MHD might contribute strongly to pathogenesis. The current study was designed to explore possible associations between circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and intima-media thickness of common carotid artery (CCA-IMT) as an indicator of carotid atheroscl...

Control of a fluid velocity profile by injection and suction of non-ionized flow in presence of a uniform steady magnetic field has important technical applications. In this paper, the unsteady incompressible and viscous conducting fluid flow has been investigated in a circular channel. The channel wall has been assumed to be non-conducting and porous. It has been subjected to a uniform steady ...

We study theoretically magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) motion of a binary electrolyte in a concentric annulus subjected to a uniform, axial magnetic field. The annulus’ cylindrical surfaces serve as electrodes. When a potential difference is imposed across the cylindrical electrodes, radial electric current flows in the solution and interacts with the axial magnetic field to induce a Lorentz body for...

The effect of mass transfer on MHD mixed convective flow along inclined porous plate with thermodiffusion have been analyzed on the basis of boundary layer approximations. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and dense, and a uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the direction of the flow. A Similarity transformation is used to transform the problem under consideration into coupled n...

In this paper, the MHD Jeffery Hamel problem with nanoparticles for various values of Hartmann number has been investigated. The present study discusses about the velocity profile in the steady 2-dimensional flow of a MHD fluid with nanoparticles between two nonparallel walls. At first a similarity transformation is used to reduce the partial differential equations modeling the flow, to a singl...

Results are presented of 3D numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of electromagnetic DC pump for both laminar and turbulent metal flow under an externally imposed strongly non-uniform magnetic field. Numerous MHD flow cases were simulated using finite element method and the results of five typical examples are summarized here, including one example of laminar brake flow, one example o...
