Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the combined effect of a transverse Magnetic field and radiative heat transfer on unsteady oscillatory flow through a vertical channel filled with saturated porous medium and non-uniform wall temperature with the effect of suction or injection. The governing equation of oscillatory flow were non-dimensionalized, simplified and solved analytically. The effect of thermal radiation and the Magnetic field parameters on velocity profile, temperature, wall shear stress and the rate of heat transfer under the influence of Hartmann's number, Grashof number, Darcy parameter, suction/injection parameter are computed graphically.
