ABSTRACT

In this paper, an attempt has been made to study of variably inclined MHD flows through Porous media in magnetic graph plane. The study of MHD flow of a steady homogeneous, incompressible, viscous fluid with finite electrical conductivity through porous media. In the last the expression for vorticity function has been obtained.

Keywords: Current density vector, Fluid pressure, Fluid density, Magnetic viscosity and porous media.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Waterhouse and Kingston [5] studied steady, plane, inviscid and incompressible MHD flows, in which the velocity field and the magnetic field are constantly inclined to one another. Transformation techniques are employed for solving non-linear partial differential equations and hodograph transformation method is one of the strongest analytical method which has been widely used in continuum mechanics.

    In this paper, we consider the steady plane variably inclined MHD flows of a viscous incompressible fluid with finite electrical conductivity through porous media. A Legendre transform function of magnetic flux-function is used to recast the equations in the magnetograph plane in terms of this transformed function.

  2. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEMS

    Here, we shall consider the following notations

    p fluid pressure

    fluid density

    coefficient of Viscosity

    magnetic permeability

    k Permeability of the medium

    magnetic viscosity

    H

    J curl H = Current density vector

    H magnetic field vector

    V velocity vector.

    Magneto hydrodynamic flow of a steady homogeneous, incompressible, viscous fluid with finite electrical conductivity through porous media is given by [2]. Then the equations are given as follows:

    (2.1)

    Assuming that flow to be the two dimensional so that v and

    H lie in a plane

    defined by the rectangular coordinates (x, y) and all the flow variable's are functions of, x and y. In this regard, the above system of equations is replaced by the following equations:

  3. SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS

    Consider variably inclined plane flow and let x, y be the variable angle in

    the x, y flow region, the equation (2.16) reduces in the form

    (3.1)

    uH vH

    where

    H 2 H 2 H 2 H H 2 H 2

    Multiply equation (3.1) by H2 and equation (3.2) by H1, then

      Subtracting equation (3.7) from equation (3.6), we obtain
