Journal of Engineering Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

The effects of thermal radiation on the MHD flow over a vertical and porous plate of an optically thin gray, electrically conducting, viscous and incompressible fluid are studied. The differential equations and their boundary conditions, describing the problemunder consideration, are dimensionalized and the numerical solution is obtained. The numerical results for the velocity and temperature profiles are shown for different dimensionless parameters entering the problem under consideration, such as the radiation parameter S, Grashof number G, Prandtl number P, and the magnetic parameter M.
