Study of Second Order(Rivlin-Ericksen) MHD Fluid Flow Due to an Impulsively Started Flat Plate Through Porous Medium

Abstract

present note is the study of second order Rivlin-Ericksen MHD fluid flow due to impulsively started flat plate through porous medium. The unsteady laminar flow of an elastico-viscous fluid suspended with a uniform distribution of non-conducting dust particles in presence of uniform transverse magnetic field fixed relative to the plate which is applied normal to the flow. Laplace transform is used and analytical results for the velocity of fluid, mixed particles and the skin friction at the plate are obtained. The effect of magnetic field parameter (M), porosity parameter (K) and the mass concentration (l) of the mixed particle on the velocity of both the fluid, the particle and on the skin friction are discussed numerically and displayed graphically
