Analytical investigation was conducted on the transient natural convection flow past an oscillating infinite vertical plate in present of magnetic field and radiative heat transfer. The classical solution of this problem for impulsively moving plate is given by Seth in [2] and is found to be a special case of the solution to be presented. The governing model equations are solved analytically with the help of Laplace transform technique. The results are expressed in terms of the velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin-friction and Nusselt number.

General solutions for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a moving plate are established when thermal radiation, porous effects, and slip condition are taken into consideration. These solutions, obtained in closed-form by Laplace transform technique, depend on the slip coefficient and the three essential parameters Gr, Preff, and Keff. They satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions and can generate a large class of exact solutions corresponding to different fluid motions with technical relevance. For illustration, two special cases are considered and some interesting results from the literature are recovered as limiting cases. The influence of pertinent parameters on the fluid motion is graphically underlined.

In this paper, we consider the unsteady free-convection flows of a viscous and incompressible fluid near an oscillating porous infinite vertical plate (or wall) during the heating of the plate. The governing equations are solved in closed form by the Laplace transform technique, when the Prandtl number (Pr) of the fluid is arbitrary and the suction (or injection) is constant. This solution is applied for a special case of the constant heating effects from the harmonically oscillating plate. The resulting velocity and temperature are shown graphically and are also discussed for the case of air (Pr=0.71) or water (Pr=7.0) flows.

<p>This paper examines the role of magnetic field on fully developed natural convection flow in an annulus due to symmetric of surfaces. The transport equations concerned with the model under consideration are rendered non-dimensional and transformed into the ordinary differential equation using Laplace transform technique. The solution obtained is then transformed to time domain using the Riemann-sum approximation approach. The governing equations are also solved using implicit finite difference method so as to establish the accuracy of the Riemann-sum approximation approach at transient as well as at steady state solution. The solutions obtained are graphically represented and the effects of pertinent parameters on the flow formation are investigated in detail. The Hartmann number (M), is seen to have a retarding effect on the velocity, skin-frictions and the mass flow rate. Also, skin-friction at both surfaces and the mass flow rate within the annulus are found to be directly proportional to the radii ratio (λ).</p>
