Abstract :
MHD free convection flow of a Jeffrey fluid between vertical plates partially filled with porous medium is investigated. The momentum transfer in the porous medium has been described by the Brinkman extended Darcy model. The fluid flow in the free region is governed by Jeffrey model. The solution for the problem is obtained using a perturbation method. The effects of Darcy number, magnetic parameter and Jeffrey parameter on the velocity field and temperature distributions are discussed in detail through graphs.
