MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW OF 2ND-ORDER FLUID THROUGH A POROUS-MEDIUM ON AN INCLINED POROUS PLANE

This paper considers the flow of an incompressible, conducting non-Newtonian Rivlin-Ericksen fluid of second order through a porous medium on an inclined permeable plane. In the presence of uniform magnetic field, an analytic solution to the volume-averaged momentum equation is obtained. The velocity profiles are illustrated for several combinations of the porous medium shape parameter, elastic parameter, and magnetic parameter. During the course of discussion, the drag force on the permeable wall is obtained and the effect of properties of the problem are studied and shown numerically and graphically.
