Effect of Aligned Magnetic Field on MHD Squeezing Flow of Casson Fluid between Parallel Plates

Abstract

The two-dimensional unsteady magnetohydrodynamic squeezing flow and heat transfer of Casson fluid between two parallel plates with aligned magnetic field and nonlinear thermal radiation is investigated theoretically. The resulting governing equations are transformed as set of ODEs and solved numerically by using bvp4c Matlab package. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the flow and temperature fields are discussed with the assistance of graphical illustrations. The reduced Nusselt number are presented through graphs. It is seen that increasing values of squeeze number depreciate the flow and temperature fields.
