MHD MICROPOLAR FLUID FLOW THROUGH VERTICAL POROUS MEDIUM

The numerical studies are performed to examine the MHD micro-polar fluid flow through a vertical porous plate. Finite difference technique is used as a tool for the numerical approach. The micro-polar fluid behavior on two- dimensional unsteady flow has been considered and its nonsimilar solution have been obtained. Non-similar equations of the corresponding momentum, angular momentum and continuity equations are derived under MHD effect by employing the usual transformation. The dimensionless non-similar equations for momentum, angular momentum and continuity equations are solved numerically by finite difference technique. The effects on the velocity, micro rotation, the spin gradient viscosity, and vortex viscosity of the various important parameters entering into the problem separately are discussed with the help of graphs.
