Abstract

In this paper, the effect of radiation on unsteady convective heat transfer flow of an electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium confined in a horizontal channel bounded by wavy walls. The unsteadiness is due to the oscillatory flux in the flow and heat transfer is non-linear and coupled.  The Laplace transform technique has been used to solve the governing equations. The effects of the non-dimensional parameters on the governing flow velocity, temperature are examined with graphical profiles. Also for engineering interest the shear stress, and Nusselt number are obtained analytically and discussed computationally with reference.
