Numerical study of MHD and radiation effects on flow past an Oscillating isothermal vertical plate with uniform mass flux

R.Muthucumaraswamy, B.Saravanan

The objective of the present work is to study the heat and mass transfer effects on unsteady MHD radiative flow past an oscillating semi-infinite isothermal vertical plate with uniform mass flux. The fluid considered here is a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but non-scattering medium. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by an efficient, more accurate, and unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit scheme. The effect of velocity, concentration and temperature for different parameters like thermal radiation, magnetic field, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number and mass Grashof number are studied. It is observed that the velocity decreases in the presence of thermal radiation or magnetic field parameter
