Micropolar Fluid Flow Along with an Inclined Riga Plate Through a Porous Medium

Abstract

This study presents the one-dimensional unsteady micropolar fluid flow set in a porous medium along with an inclined infinite Riga plate. This Riga plate is created an electric and magnetic field, where a transverse Lorentz force is generated that contributes a flow along with the plate. The explicit finite difference method is used to find the solution of the non-dimensional form of the governing equations and estimated results are analyzed in terms of Microrotation parameter, Suction parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Permeability parameter, Hartmann number, Dufour number, Soret number, Schmidt number. Also, the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local and average shear stress, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are reported numerically as well as graphically.
