MHD Rivlin-Ericksen Free Convective Memory Flow through Porous Medium

Abstract

Effects of free convective two dimensional unsteady Rivlin-Ericksen memory flow through porous medium of variable permeability, bounded by vertical porous plate with uniform suction and constant heat flux under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field are studied. The permeability of porous medium fluctuates with time about a constant mean. Approximate solutions are found for mean velocity, transient velocity and temperature distribution. The temperature distribution and mean velocity are shown graphically and discussed.
