The unsteady MHD flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel non conducting plates, where the lower one is stretching sheet and the upper one is oscillating porous plate, is studied in the presence of a transverse magnetic field and the effects of Hall current. Fluid motion is caused by the stretching of the lower sheet and a constant suction is applied at the upper plate which is oscillating in its own plane. The stretching velocity of the sheet is assumed to be a linear function of distance along the channel. The expressions relating to the velocity distribution are obtained and effects of different values of various physical parameters are calculated numerically and shown graphically.

MHD flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid due to a uniform stream passing over a thick, porous conducting flat plate subjected to a uniform suction at the plate under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field has been studied taking into account the effect of Hall current. Induced magnetic field has been taken into consideration and exact solutions have been obtained for primary and secondary flows and induced magnetic field. Effects of different parameters have been illustrated using graphs. It has also been pointed out that when the magnetic Prandtl number is very small effects of Hall current, wall conductivity, and thickness of the plate are all negligible.

Aim of the paper is to investigate effects of ohmic heating and viscous dissipation on steady flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a stretching non-conducting isothermal sheet. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order with shooting technique. The velocity and temperature distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. Skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically, and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are compared with earlier results and presented through tables.

The steady axisymmetric hydromagnetic flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid impinging on a porous flat plate with heat transfer are investigated. An external uniform magnetic field and a uniform suction or injection are applied normal to the plate which is maintained at a constant temperature. Numerical solution for the governing nonlinear equations is obtained.

Abstract The paper discusses the boundary layer flow of a weak electrically conducting viscoelastic Walters’ liquid B over a nonlinearly stretching sheet subjected to an applied transverse magnetic field, when the liquid far away from the surface is at rest. The stretching is assumed to be a quadratic function of the coordinate along the direction of stretching. An analytical expression is obtained for the stream function and velocity components as a function of the viscoelastic parameter, the Chandrasekhar number and stretching related parameters. The results have possible technological applications in liquid based systems involving stretchable materials.

The properties of the final product greatly depend on the cooling rate from the material surface in many manufacturing processes, such as stretching sheets or filaments that are extruded continuously from a die. Therefore, the thermal transport behavior may play an important role in such manufacturing processes. In this paper we present an analysis of momentum and thermal transport for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet with prescribed surface temperature. The effects of free convection, Joule heating and viscous dissipation are taken into consideration. The transformed governing equations are solved numerically for this non-similar coupled flow problem. To reveal the tendency of the solutions, typical results for velocity profiles, temperature distributions and the local Nusselt number are presented for different values of governing parameters.

We investigate in the present paper the magnetic Rayleigh problem, where a semi-infinite flat plate is moving with a power-law velocity, in a non-Newtonian power-law fluid (Ostwald–de Wael model). The non-stationary flow of this electrically conducting fluid in a transverse magnetic field is then analyzed. The solutions of this problem are obtained by means of similarity techniques. The main goal, is to investigate existence, uniqueness and behavior of such solutions, according to the values of the physical parameters.

A numerical analysis was performed for the mathematical model of boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluids. Heat and mass transfer were analyzed for an incompressible electrically conducting fluid with viscous dissipations and chemical reaction past a stretching sheet. An appropriate set of similarity transformations were used to transform the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is solved numerically by using shooting method. A detailed discussion on the effects of various physical parameters and heat transfer characteristics was also included.
