Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComputer Simulation of a Radiative MHD flow in a Rotating FluidHarouna NarouaA hydromagnetic free convection flow has been modeled and simulated. The flow is considered unsteady, near a moving infinite flat plate in a rotating fluid. For the radiative heat transfer to be significant, very high temperatures are involved rendering the problem highly non-linear. The simulation is based on a generic finite element scheme coupled with a stepwise Lagrange polynomial. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2016 · 7,028 accessesView PDFCite
