Abstract

This study investigates squeezing flow of viscous incompressible fluid in a highly permeable medium between 2 parallel, permeable, unsteadily rotating plates in the presence of a magnetic field and radiation. The plates at time t^* are separated by a distance H(1-at^*)^1/2. Using a similarity transformation, the governing equations have been transformed into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations have been solved numerically by a shooting method. Graphs are presented to depict the temperature and heat transfer profiles. The results show a decline in the temperature profiles under the effect of enhanced radiation.
