• MHD free convection between vertical walls

Abstract

Steady magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow of a viscous incompressible conducting fluid between vertical walls heated asymmetrically has been analyzed in the presence of a uniform applied magnetic field. The channel walls are maintained at different constant temperatures. The velocity field, induced magnetic field and the temperature distribution have been obtained in a closed form. It is perceived that an increase in Hartmann number leads to an increase the velocity but decrease the temperature of the channel flow. Asymptotic behavior of the solutions are analyzed for .
