Abstract

This paper looks at numerical solutions of steady state rotating and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a third grade fluid past a rigid plate with slip. The space occupying the fluid is porous. The flow modeling is based upon the modified Darcy's law. The resulting non-linear problem is solved using MATLAB®. The influence of pertinent flow parameters on the velocity profiles is illustrated and discussed.
