Abstract

Numerical analysis on unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer over an inclined stretching channel in a porous medium with heat source in the presence of an inclined magnetic field is reported. The non-linear and coupled governing equations are solved by transforming them to ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and are then solved numerically by applying the successive linearization method. Convergence analysis of the method is carried out to show the robustness of the method. The effects of the various flow parameters on the velocity and temperature fields as well as the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer coefficient are presented graphically and discussed.
