Finite Difference Solution for MHD Flow Between Two Parallel Permeable Plates with Velocity Slip

Abstract

The problem of Hydromagnetic steady laminar flow of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible fluid between parallel pates has been studied. The nonzero tangential slip velocity at the permeable boundary is considered. A numerical solution is derived for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using a novel Keller box scheme. The effect of suction Reynold number R, Hartman number M and slip coefficient ? on derived quantities such as velocity filed and skin friction at the boundaries are analyzed. The physical significance of the flow parameters is also discussed.
