Abstract
An analysis is carried on an unsteady two-dimensional squeezing radiative flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid in the presence of time-varying transverse magnetic field and chemical reaction. The crux of the analysis centres round, time-varying magnetic field, squeezing of the channel, chemical reaction of diffusing species and radiative heat transfer. These phenomena affect momentum, thermal energy and solutal transport mechanism significantly. The modified governing equations with complex boundary conditions contribute to intricacy of the solution. The Runge-Kutta sixth order integration scheme with shooting technique has been applied to solve the ordinary differential equations under similarity transformations. The analysis reveals that the numerical method applied in the present analysis is as effective and consistent as that of Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). Further, it is interesting to note that the squeezing of the channel width acts adversely to the resistive force due to the presence of a magnetic field and hence suggests a controlling device to nullify the effect.
