Abstract


A recently developed numerical method, multidomain quasilinearisation method, is applied on a steady laminar, natural convection boundary layer flow of MHD viscous and incompressible fluid from a vertical permeable flat plate with uniform temperature in this paper. Nondimensionless variables are used to transform the governing equations to a system of nondimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. Then the resulting equations are solved numerically by using multidomain quasilinearisation method. The numerical results for tangential velocity, transverse velocity, and temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number are calculated and shown in a table and in various graphs.
