A Study of Two Dimensional Unsteady MHD Free Convection Flow over a Vertical Plate in the Presence of Radiation
Mohammad Sharif Ullah, Absana Tarammim, Mohammed Jahir Uddin
Abstract
This paper compacts with an exact analysis of radiative effects on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of an electrically conducting incompressible viscous fluid over a vertical plate. The non-dimensional continuity, momentum, and energy equations are solved using appropriate transformation. The dimensionless momentum and energy equations are solved numerically through an explicit finite difference method. The stability and convergence analysis also discussed. Finally, outcomes of the parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are displayed graphically and qualitatively.
