G-jitter induced MHD mixed convection flow past an inclined stretching sheet

Abstract

This paper studies the effect of periodical gravity modulation, or g-jitter induced magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mixed convection flow past an inclined stretching sheet. Using appropriate non-dimensional variables, the governing partial differential equations are first transformed into non-dimensional form. The obtained non-dimensional equations are then solved numerically using Keller-box method. The features of the flow with heat transfer characteristics for different values of frequency, amplitude and magnetic parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are analyzed and discussed. The behaviour of physical quantities such as skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are also investigated. To validate the present numerical results, comparison with published results is done and found to be in a good agreement.
