Magnetized oscillatory Jeffrey fluid flow in a porous channel with unequal wall temperature

Abstract

The performance assessment of Jeffrey fluid impact on hydromagnetic oscillatory flow along a permeable plate immersed in porous medium is analysed in the optically thin thermal radiation regime. The exact solutions of the dimensionless equations have been determined. In view of the assumed oscillatory pressure gradient, the resultant linear partial differential equations were reduced to a boundary-valued-problem where the unsteady flow is superimposed on the mean steady flow. The influence of controlling parameters dictating the flow behaviour have been demonstrated graphically and explained thoroughly. It is established from the computational analysis that the function of Jeffrey fluid parameter is to increase the fluid velocity. Also, the shear stress is enhanced at both walls as the suction/injection parameter is increased. Interestingly, the results obtained for limiting case in this research is consistent with previous literature, thereby establishing the accuracy and correctness of the present analysis.
