MHD flow between two parallel plates with heat transfer. (English) Zbl 0869.76093

Summary: The steady flow of an electrically conducting, viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel infinite insulated horizontal plates and the heat transfer through it are studied. The upper plate moves at a constant velocity while the lower plate is kept at rest. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to vary with temperature. The effect of an external uniform magnetic field as well as the action of an inflow perpendicular to the plates together with the influence of the pressure gradient on the flow and temperature distributions are reported. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear ordinary differential equations is developed.
