Analysis of magnetohydrodynamic squeezed viscous fluid flow in a porous medium

In this numerical analysis, the significance of features of squeezed viscous fluid flow in the presence of inclined magnetic field effect has been scrutinized. For the efficient heat transfer phenomenon, the viscous dissipation and Joule heating effects have also been incorporated in the temperature equation. The dimensionless conservation equations are tackled with the help of shooting method. The behavior of particular parameters contemplated in the model on the fluid motion, energy distribution rate of heat transfer and surface drag coefficient are presented graphically and discussed in detail. Significant importance of the inclined magnetic field effect is noticed in the fluid velocity and heat transfer rate. From the performed simulations, it is noticed that as Prandtl number is increased from 1 to 5, the rate of heat transfer is increased by 56%, whereas when the inclined magnetic parameter gamma is increased from pi/8 to pi/2, the rate of heat transfer is declined by 9.7%. It is also observed that the rate of heat transfer diminishs as the squeezing parameter is hiked whereas stretching parameter of lower plate has an opposite trend.
