NUMERICAL STUDY OF CONVECTIVE FLOW OF CASSON FLUID THROUGH AN INFINITE VERTICAL PLATE WITH INDUCED MAGNETIC FIELD

The present objective is to numerically analyze the induced magnetic field (IMF) effect of an unsteady MHD flow of Casson fluid through two infinite vertical plates. The effect of radiative heat has been scrutinized. Governing non-dimensional PDEs of the flow are discretized by the finite difference method to some algebraic system of equations, which is then numerically solved concerning the boundary conditions. The effects of the radiations, magnetic Prandtl number, Prandtl number, Hartmann number, and Casson parameter on temperature profile, velocity profile, and induced magnetic field have been depicted through graphs. The radiative effect and Prandtl number have considerable influence on the surface drag force and also on the rate of heat transfer.
