Radiation Effects on Two-Dimensional MHD Falkner-Skan Wedge Flow

Article Preview

Abstract:

Radiation effects on two-dimensional MHD Falkner-Skan boundary layer wedge have been studied. Analytical solution of nonlinear boundary-layer equations is obtained by modified homotopy perturbation method. It is observed that the magnetic field tends to decelerate fluid flow whereas radiations and thermal diffusion tend to increase fluid temperature.
