MHD Free-Convective Couette flow in a Vertical Porous Microchannel Using Non-Linear Boussinesq Approximation

Abstract: An analytical solution for free convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a vertical micro-porous-channel, in the existence of transversely applied magnetic-field and nonlinear Boussinesq approximation is carried out in this article. The governing equations representing stated objective are obtained and solved analytically using method of undetermiend coefficients and direct integration. Pictorial and tabularlar representions of solutions obtained are carried out, so as to ascertain the role of various governing parameters entering flow formation. During the course of numerical simulation of results, it is found that the volumetric flow rate increases with increase in Couette flow parameter, asymmetric heating parameter and suction/injection parameter but decreases with increase in nonlinear Boussinesq approximation parameter.
