• EFFECTS OF HALL CURRENTS ON HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW OF AN IONIZED GAS BETWEEN PARALLEL POROUS WALLS THROUGH A POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract

Hall effects on the hydromagnetic flow of an ionized gas between two parallel conducting porous walls through porous medium have been studied. The analytical solution has been derived for velocity distribution. The effects of the various parameters on primary and secondary velocity distributions are presented graphically in both fully and partially ionized gases. It is observed that the primary velocity and the magnitude of the secondary velocity increase with an increase in Hall parameter m and Darcy number Da. It is also observed that both the primary and the secondary velocities decrease with an increase in Hartmann number M and Suction Reynolds number λ.
