TRANSIENT MICROPOLAR FLUID FLOW PAST A SEMI-INFINITE VERTICAL PLATE WITH RADIATION IN SLIP FLOW REGIME

Abstract

This work examines the unstable magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow of a micropolar fluid adjacent to a semi-infinite vertical plate. A homogeneous magnetic field is applied orthogonally to the plate. The suction/injection on the plate and the permeability of the porous material are presumed to fluctuate over time. Disregarding the induced magnetic field, the solutions for velocity and temperature are derived using the regular perturbation technique. The graphical representation illustrates the impacts of the permeability parameter, coupling stress, microrotation parameter, slip flow parameter, and other relevant parameters involved in the problem.
