Flow of couple stress fluid between two parallel porous plates

Abstract

The steady flow of incompressible couple stress fluid flow between parallel porous plates maintained at constant but different temperatures with the assumption that there is a constant suction at upper plate and a constant injection at the lower plate is studied. The governing non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using quasi-linearization technique. The effects of couple stress fluid parameter, suction Reynolds number and suction-injection ratio on the velocity and temperature are discussed.
