“…Later, Makinde and Mhone [8] extended the work of Takashima [4] to an isotropic porous domain case and subsequently to an anisotropic porous domain by Shankar and Shivakumara [9]. In the past, the stability of conducting fluid flows in a channel in the presence of a uniform magnetic field has attracted the attention of a host of researchers (Takashima [10], Kaddeche et al [11], Balyaev and Smorodin [12], Adesanya et al [13], Hayat et al [14], Hudoba et al [15], Hudoba and Molokov [16], Bhatti et al [17], Shankar et al [18], Ijaz et al [19], Hassan et al [20], Shankar et al [21] and references therein).…”
