NUMERICAL STUDY OF MHD BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW OF A VISCOELASTIC AND DISSIPATIVE FLUID PAST A POROUS PLATE IN THE PRESENCE OF THERMAL RADIATION

摘要

In this manuscript, an investigation is done to analyze various properties of fully developed free convective flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting viscoelastic and dissipative fluid past a vertical porous plate bounded by a porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and variable permeability. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the plate, and the presence of a heat source is also considered. The coupled dimensionless nonlinear partial differential equations are solved numerically by finite difference method. The numerical computations have been studied through graphs. The presence of thermal radiation decreases the temperature, and an opposite nature is shown in the case of Eckert number.
