Abstract

Abstract

The combined effects of magnetic field, permeable walls, Darcy velocity and slipparameter on the steady flow of a fluid in a channel of uniform width were studied. The fluid flowing in the channel was assumed to be homogeneous, incom pressible and Newtonian. Analytical so lutions were constructed for the governing equations using Beavers-Joseph slip boundary conditions. Effects of the magnetic field, permeability, Darcy velocity and slipparameter on the axial velocity, slipvelocity and shear stress were discussed in detail. It is seen that the Hartmann number, Darcyvelocity, porous parameter and slipparameter play avital role in altering the flow and in turn the shear stress.
