MHD Flow of a Dusty Viscous Conducting Liquid Between Two Parallel Plates

Abstract

In this paper, the flow of a viscous conducting liquid with uniform distribution of dust particles in a channel is considered under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field with pressure gradient varying linearly with time. The velocities of fluid and dust are found to decrease with the increase of the magnetic parameter. Further that the velocity of the fluid particles is observed to be more than that of dust particles.Keywords: Viscous conducting liquid; Uniform transverse magnetic field; Fluidization; Incompressible fluid; Stoke’s resistance coefficient. © 2009 JSR Publications.
