Unsteady MHD flow of a non-Newtonian fluid on a porous plate

Abstract

This paper deals with the study of the MHD flow of non-Newtonian fluid on a porous plate. Two exact solutions for non-torsionally generated unsteady hydromagnetic flow of an electrically conducting second order incompressible fluid bounded by an infinite non-conducting porous plate subjected to a uniform suction or blowing have been analyzed. The governing partial differential equation for the flow has been established. The mathematical analysis is presented for the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow neglecting the induced magnetic field. The effect of presence of the material constants of the second order fluid on the velocity field is discussed.

Williamson Fluid Flow Behaviour of MHD Convective-Radiative Cattaneo–christov Heat Flux Type Over a Linearly Stretched-Surface With Heat Generation and Thermal-Diffusion

“…In recent years, the study of non-Newtonian fluids is of great attention for scientists (Abo-Eldahab and Salem, 2005;Asghar et al, 2007;ElKabeir et al, 2008;Eldabe et al, 2012;Ezzat, 2010;Gaffar et al, 2015;Hameed and Nadeem, 2007;Hsiao et al, 2014;Jayachandra Babu and Sandeep, 2016;Rashidi et al, 2016;Rundora and Makinde, 2015;Si et al, 2016;Turkyilmazoglu, 2012;Umamaheswar et al, 2016) Williamson (1929) in his pioneer research of Pseudo-plastic materials flow. He explained the flow of pseudo-plastic fluids by developing a model equation and verified this hypothesis with experiment.…”

An Exact Solution on Unsteady MHD Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Past an Infinite Vertical Plate in the Presence of Thermal Radiation

“…Damesh and Shannak (2010) studied visco-elastic fluid flow past an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of first order chemical reaction. Hameed and Nadeem (2007) discussed Unsteady MHD flow of a Non-Newtonian fluid on a porous plate. Nayak et al (2013) investigated MHD flow of a viscoelastic fluid along vertical porous surface with chemical reaction.…”
