Analysis of Variable Viscosity Channel Flow under Constant Magnetic Field via Generalized Differential Quadrature Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, the application of Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) to solve a variable viscosity channel flow under constant magnetic field is investigated. The governing equations for channel flow in between two infinite horizontal parallel porous plates subject to convective surface boundary conditions are given in dimensional and non-dimensional forms, pointing out the dimensionless parameters used. These equations are discretized using the GDQM, and solved via Newton Raphson Method. Effects of magnetic field on incompressible electrically conducting fluid velocity and temperature profiles are presented in plots.
