Effect of Heat source on an unsteady MHD free convection flow of Casson fluid past a vertical oscillating plate in porous medium using finite element analysis

Abstract

The present research paper aims to study the effect Heat source on an MHD Casson fluid through a vertical fluctuating porous plate. Dimensional non-linear coupled differential equations transformed into dimensional less by introducing similarity variables. The transformed nondimensional ordinary differential equations of velocity, temperature is solved by Galerkin element technique. The influence of flow parameters like Casson fluid (γ), Permeability (K), magnetic number (M), Phase angle (ωt), Prandtl number (Pr), other physical quantities on velocity along with temperature profiles is explained in detailed via graphs. Skin friction, Nusselt number is also explained through tables. Moreover, with increasing the heat source parameter the result in the velocity and temperature increases.
