Radiation Effect on Three Dimensional MHD Flow Past a Vertical Porous Plate

Abstract

The magnetohydrodynamic flow of viscous incompressible fluid past a vertical porous plate in the presence of radiation has been studied. Approximate solution for velocity and temperature fields have been obtained by using perturbation technique. It is found that main fluid velocity decreases with increase in magnetic parameter, radiation parameter as well as suction parameter for cooling of the plate and increases for heating of the plate. The temperature profile decreases with the increase of radiation parameter.
