Abstract A similarity analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow past an accelerated vertical infinite plate in the presence of free convection current is carried out. A group theoretic generalized dimensional analysis is employed to achieve the governing non-linear ordinary differential equations in the most general form. Numerical solutions of these equations are given with the plot of their velocity profiles with the effects of Pr-Prandtl number and Gr-Grashof number

AbstractThe principal objective of the present paper is to know the reaction of thermal radiation and the effects of magnetic fields on a viscous dissipative free convection fluid flow past an inclined infinite plate in the presence of an induced magnetic field. The Galerkin finite element technique is applied to solve the nonlinear coupled partial differential equations and effects of thermal radiation and other physical and flow parameters on velocity, induced magnetic field, along with temperature profiles are explained through graphs. It is noticed that as the thermal radiation increases velocity and temperature profiles decrease and the induced magnetic field profiles increases.
