| Abstract: | Similarity solutions for the laminar boundary-layer equations describing steady hydromagnetic two-dimensional flow and heat transfer in a stationary electrically-conducting and heat-generating fluid driven by a continuously moving porous surface immersed in a fluid-saturated porous medium are obtained. The flow is exposed to a transverse magnetic field and the surface is moving with a constant velocity. Fluid suction or injection is imposed at the wall. The dimensionless similar equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite-difference method. The numerical flow and heat transfer results are illustrated graphically for various parametric conditions to show special features of the solutions. Favorable comparisons with previously published work confirm the correctness of the numerical results. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd |
