ABSTRACT: An
analysis of the hydromagnetic free convective flow past a vertical infinite
porous plate in a rotating fluid is carried out. The temperatures involved are
assumed to be very large so that the radiative heat transfer is significant,
which renders the problem very non-linear even on the assumption of a
differential approximation for the radiative flux. The temperature and velocity
fields are computed using a generic software tool based on the Nakamura finite
difference scheme. The genericity of the software tool is in the sense that it
is a common solution to the category of time dependent laminar fluid flows
expressed in one spatial coordinate. The input equations, together with other
relevant parameters, are transformed into postfix code which will be farther
interpreted in the computation process. The influence of the various parameters
entering into the problem is shown graphically followed by a discussion of
results.
