1 To develop a mathematical /numerical model as an accurate tool to investigate MHD flow through porous media. Such a model enables a numerical parametric study to be made for transport phenomena in the MHD flow of fluids with variable thermal and mechanical properties.
2 This thorough study will provide the fundamental understanding of flow pattern and heat transfer within the medium, the factors affecting the heat and fluid transports, and the phenomenological aspects of the thermal and dynamic interaction between the solid and gas phases.
