• UNSTEADY NATURAL CONVECTION MHD FLOW THROUGH POROUS MEDIA PAST AN ACCELERATED VERTICAL PLATE IN A THERMALLY STRATIFIED FLUID

Abstract

Unsteady natural convection MHD flow through porous media past an accelerated vertical plate in a thermally stratified fluid is studied here. The fluid considered is gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. The governing equations involved in the present analysis are solved by the Laplace-transform technique. The velocity, skin friction and Nusselt number are studied for different parameters like Prandtl number, thermal Grashof number, magnetic field parameter, permeability parameter, stratification parameter and time.
