Abstract
In this paper, the free convective flow of magnetohydrodynamic fluid through a
channel with time periodic boundary condition is investigated by taking the effects of Joule dissipation
into consideration. Based on simplifying assumptions, the coupled governing equations are reduced to a
set of nonlinear boundary valued problem. Approximate solutions are obtained by using semi-analytical
Adomian decomposition method. The effect of pertinent parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature
distribution, Nusselt number and skin friction are presented graphically and discussed. The result of the
computation shows that an increase in the magnetic field intensity has significant influence on the fluid
flow.
