Abstract

In this paper the MHD of a Non-Newtonian unsteady flow of an incompressible fluid under the effect of couple stresses and a uniform magnetic field is analysed by using Finite Element Method. The solution is obtained by using Galerkin Method with assuming a pulsatile pressure gradient in the direction of the motion. The Galerkin Method endowed with distinct features that account for its superiority over competing methods. The effect of different parameters are discussed with the help of graphs.
