Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid between a porous parallel-plates channel. The fluid is electrically-conducting subjected to radiation described by the Cogley-Vincent-Gilles formulation and with convective thermal boundary conditions at the plates. The solution methodology employed is the hybrid numerical-analytical approach known as the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT). The consistency of the integral transform method in handling such a class of problem is illustrated through convergence analyses, and the influence of physical parameters such as radiation, and micropolar parameters, and Hartman number. The wall shear stress, the coupled stress coefficient, and heat flux at the walls were also calculated, demonstrating that increasing the gyroviscosity decreases the wall stresses magnitudes. Furthermore, the results show that increasing the radiation heat transfer decreases the fluid temperature distribution. Additionally, the velocity is damped, and the angular velocity is increased by the Lorentz force in the presence of a magnetic field.
