Analytical study for Soret, Hall, and Joule heating effects on natural convection flow saturated porous medium in a vertical channel

Abstract

This paper analyzes the laminar, incompressible natural convective transport inside vertical channel in an electrically conducting fluid saturated porous medium. In addition, this model incorporates the combined effects of Hall current, Soret and Joule heating. The non-linear governing equations with their corresponding boundary conditions are initially cast into a dimensionless form by using suitable transformations and Adomian decomposition method has been used to solve the system of equations. To explore the influence of various parameters on fluid flow properties, quantitative analysis is exhibited graphically and shown in the tabular form.
