Abstract

Numerical solutions of MHD effects on free convective flow an incompressible viscous fluid past a moving semi-infinite vertical cylinder with temperature oscillation was presented.The dimensionless, unsteady,non-linear and coupled governing partial differential equations were solved using an implicit finite difference method of Crank-Nicolson type.The velocity,temperature and concentration profiles were studied for various parameters.The local as well as average skin-friction,Nusselt number and Sherwood number were also analyzed and presented graphically.The present results are compared with available results in literature and are found to be in good agreement.
