Unsteady MHD Flow Past a Vertical Oscillating Plate with Thermal Radiation and Variable Mass Diffusion

Abstract

This investigation is undertaken to study the hydromagnetic flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past an oscillating vertical plate with radiation and variable mass diffusion. Governing equations are solved by Laplace transform technique for concentration, temperature and vertical velocity field and they are presented graphically for different values of physical parameters involved. It is observed that plate oscillation, variable mass diffusion and radiation affect the flow pattern significantly.
