Magnetoconvective flow and heat transfer between vertical wavy wall and a parallel flat wall

The magnetoconvective flow and heat transfer between a long vertical wavy wall and a parallel flat wall in the presence of applied electric field parallel to gravity, magnetic field normal to gravity and uniform heat source is investigated. Nonlinear equations governing the motion have been solved by linearization technique wherein the flow is assumed to consist of two parts; a mean part and a perturbed part. Exact solutions are obtained for the mean part and the perturbed part is solved using long wave approximation. The results are presented for various values of the Hartmann number, electric field loading parameter, heat source parameter and the wall temperature ratio. The effect of these parameters on the physical characteristics such as skin friction and the Nusselt number at the walls is studied.
