Abstract:
This work deals with the radial flow through deformable porous shells under a uniform applied magnetic field. A biphasic mixture theory is used to develop general nonlinear diffusion equations for spherical, cylindrical and planar geometries. A set of nonlocal boundary conditions are outlined in a general form applicable to spherical, cylindrical and planar geometries. The governing set of equations are solved numerically for steady and unsteady cases for different radii of the porous shell. The effect of magnetic parameter on change in porosity and solid displacement is illustrated graphically.
