COMBINED EFFECTS OF SQUEEZE AND SLIP FLOW OF AN MHD CASSON

FLUID THROUGH A NON-DARCY POROUS MEDIUM

Akinbowale T Akinshilo

University of Lagos, Nigeria

his present study considers the effects of squeezing electrically conducting Casson fluid flowing through a non-Darcy

porous medium. Since the Casson fluid finds useful applications in flow processes such as jelly processing, tomato sauce

production, drilling mud, paint solutions amongst other applications. Nonlinear models developed describing the transport

phenomena of the Casson fluid is transformed using similarity variables to ordinary differential equations, which is analyzed

adopting the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Solutions generated from the higher order non-linear equation arising from

the mechanics of the fluid utilizing the HPM are used to investigate effects of rheological parameters. Parameters effects such

as non-Darcy and slip parameter on fluid flow are examined. Results reveals increasing velocity distribution as slip parameter

increases quantitatively when plates are receding and collapsing while for non-Darcy parameter decrease in velocity distribution

is observed for quantitative increase in non-Darcy parameter. Comparison of analytical solution obtained against numerical

solution proves to be in good agreement. Therefore, present study provides good insights to applications such as hydraulic lifts,

electric motors, nasogastric tube and syringe flow amongst other application.
