EFFECT OF SUCTION / INJECTION ON AN OSCILLATORY MHD FLOW IN A ROTATING HORIZONTAL POROUS CHANNEL

Author: R.N.BARIK?

Category: Engineering, Science and Mathematics

Abstract:

An analysis is made to study the effects of injection / suction on an oscillatory flow of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in a porous channel filled with a porous material. The porous channel with constant injection / suction rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plates. A uniform magnetic field is applied normally to the plates. The upper plate is allowed to oscillate in its own plane whereas the lower plate is kept at rest.

Keywords: MHD Flow, rotating channel, porous medium, suction / injection.
