ABSTRACT

Based on modified Darcy's law, the fluctuating rotating flow of a second-grade fluid past a porous heated plate with variable suction is investigated. The flow is analyzed in the presence of a transversely applied uniform magnetic field, and the Hall current is taken into account. The induced magnetic field due to the motion of an electrically conducting fluid is negligible. The analytical solutions are determined for the velocity, shear stress, and temperature. Graphs are plotted for velocity and temperature profiles for various values of magnetic parameter, Hall parameter, permeability parameter, and slip parameter. The results are compared to those known from the literature.
