Heat Transfer to MHD Oscillatory Viscoelastic Flow in a Channel Filled with Porous Medium

Abstract EN

The combined effect of a transverse magnetic field and radiative heat transfer on unsteady flow of a conducting optically thin viscoelastic fluid through a channel filled with saturated porous medium and nonuniform walls temperature has been discussed.

It is assumed that the fluid has small electrical conductivity and the electromagnetic force produced is very small.

Closed-form analytical solutions are constructed for the problem.

The effects of the radiation and the magnetic field parameters on velocity profile and shear stress for different values of the viscoelastic parameter with the combination of the other flow parameters are illustrated graphically, and physical aspects of the problem are discussed.
