HYDROMAGNETIC FREE CONVECTION LAMINAR FLOW OF AN INCOMPRESSIBLE VISCO-ELASTIC (RIVILIN-ERICKSEN SECOND ORDER) FLUID THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM PAST A POROUS VERTICAL WALL WITH CONSTANT SUCTION

摘要

The present work illustrates the flow of Rivlin-Ericksen (Second Order) fluid through porous medium past a porous vertical wall with the constant suction under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field. The velocity distribution, temperature distribution, rate of heat transfer, and the coefficient of skin friction are analyzed under the given initial and boundary conditions. The effects of Porosity of porous medium, magnetic field, visco-elastic parameter, Prandtl number and suction parameter have been investigated on the flow of Rivlin-Ericksen (Second order) Fluid and the results are presented graphically for different values of the parameters entering the problem.
