Abstract
This paper consists of a mathematical analysis of MHD free convective flow of viscoelastic fluid through a porous regime in an inclined channel. The flow system is permeated by a uniform moving magnetic field with strong magnetic intensity to produce Hall and ion-slip effects. The flow governing equations are obtained from the suitable field and constitutive equations and solved analytically. To accentuate the consequences of various flow controlling parameters to the nature of the flow, numerical results are discussed in assistance with graphs and tables. An important fact noted from the study that Hall current generates the flow in the direction perpendicular to the main flow while ion-slip current reduces the flow in the direction perpendicular to the main flow. It is also seen that the moving magnetic field produces less rigidity in the flow in comparison to the stationary magnetic field.
