MHD FLOW OF A JEFFREY FLUID IN A POROUS-WALLED RECTANGULAR SQUEEZE FILM

The effect of magnetic field on the electrically conducting flow of a Jeffrey fluid between two infinite strips, where one of the porous strip has a porous bounding surface backed by a solid wall is investigated, the flow in the porous medium is assumed to be described by a modified Darcy law. Expressions for velocity field, load capacity and thickness-time are obtained. It is observed that the magnetic field increases the load capacity and response times of squeeze film.
