Abstract

This study aims to investigate the Hall effect on an unsteady flow in a composite channel of an upper oscillating wall in the presence of an inclined magnetic field. The flow field considered in the channel is composed of porous medium and clear viscous layers. The governing equations for flow and magnetic field are solved numerically by the Crank-Nicolson implicit finite-difference scheme. The results obtained are discussed graphically for various values of the pertinent parameters.
