Taylor–Couette flow in the presence of a magnetic field is a problem belonging to classical hydromagnetics and deserves to be more widely studied than it has been to date. In the nonlinear regime the literature is scarce. We develop a formulation suitable for solution of the full three dimensional nonlinear hydromagnetic equations in cylindrical geometry, which is motived by the formulation for...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the unsteady hydromagnetic incompressible viscous fluid flow through a porous medium in a horizontal channel under prescribed discharge, under the influence of inclined magnetic field. The undisturbed flow is due to a constant pressure gradient and the unsteadiness in the flow is created by imposing a time – dependent flux condition. The solutions for the ve...

We investigate the hydromagnetic effect on viscous incompressible flow between two horizontal parallel porous flat plates with transverse sinusoidal injection of the fluid at the stationary plate and its corresponding removal by periodic suction through the plate in uniform motion. The flow becomes three dimensional due to this injection/suction velocity. Approximate solutions are obtained for ...

An investigation is performed to study the effect of suction/injection on unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection flow of viscous reactive fluid between two vertical porous plates in the presence of thermal diffusion. The partial differential equations governing the flow have been solved numerically using semi-implicit finite-difference scheme. For steady case, analytical solutions have been ...
