Magnetic Induction Effects on Unsteady MHD Nanofluid Flow Past an Oscillating Semi-Infinite Vertical Flat Plate Embedded in Porous Media

Abstract: This research work addresses the effects of induced magnetic field and thermal diffusion for an incompressible, unsteady, viscous MHD Nano-fluid flow past a semi-infinite oscillating vertical flat plate embedded in a porous media. A strong magnetic field is subjected transversely to the direction of the flow. The Partial differential equations governing the flow, together with boundary and initial conditions, are solved by finite difference method of approximation. Numerical simulation has been done by use MATLAB software. The effects of the flow parameters on temperature, velocity, and concentration profiles have been investigated, discussed and results presented in graphs. It is found that an increase in magnetic Reynolds number and Reynolds number causes an increase in the induced magnetic field and decreases the induced magnetic field far away from the plate. This leads to decrease in concentration due to increase in inertial forces hence an increase in temperature and velocity.
