Abstract

In this paper, we have considered the classical problem effects of radiation, temperature dependent plastic dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity with steady incompressible laminar free convective MHD Falkner–Skan flow of Casson fluid past a moving permeable wedge. By using suitable transformation, the governing PDEs corresponding to the momentum and energy equations are converted into non-linear coupled ODEs and solved by bvp4c method. The influence of various physical parameters like Casson fluid parameters radiation parameter, variable plastic dynamic viscosity parameter, variable thermal conductivity parameter, magnetic field parameter, local porosity parameter, thermal buoyancy parameter, Prandtl number, local Eckert number, moving wedge parameter on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed and display graphically. Local Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient are tabulated.
