GENERAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE MIXED BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED TO HYDROMAGNETIC FLOWS OF A VISCOUS FLUID BETWEEN SYMMETRICALLY HEATED PARALLEL PLATES

ABSTRACT
Exact general solutions for hydromagnetic flows of an incompressible viscous fluid between two horizontal infinite parallel plates are established when the upper plate is fixed and the inferior one applies a time-dependent shear stress to the fluid. Porous effects are taken into consideration and the problem in discussion is completely solved for moderate values of the Hartman number. It is found that the fluid velocity and the non-trivial shear stress satisfy PDE of the same form and the motion characteristics do not depend of magnetic and porous parameters independently but only by a combination of them that is called the effective permeability. For illustration, as well as to bring to light some physical insight of results that have been obtained, three special cases are considered and the influence of Reynolds number as well as combined porous and magnetic effects on the fluid motion are graphically underlined and discussed for motions due to constant or ramped-type shear stresses on the boundary. The starting solutions corresponding to motions induced by the lower plate that applies constant or oscillatory shear stresses to the fluid are presented as sum of steady-state and transient solutions and the required time to reach the steady-state is graphically determined. This time is greater for motions due to sine as compared to cosine oscillating shear stresses on the boundary. The steady-state is rather obtained in the presence of a magnetic field or porous medium.
