In this paper, the steady fully developed MHD flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a channel filled with a porous medium and bounded by two infinite walls is investigated numerically for the cases (i) Poiseuille flow and (ii) Couette-Poiseuille flow; with uniform suction and injection at the walls in the presence of an inclined magnetic field. The Brinkman equation is used for the flow in the porous channel and solved numerically using the finite difference method. Numerical results are obtained for velocity. The effects of various dimensionless parameters such as Hartmann number (M), suction/injection parameter (S), permeability parameter (α) and angle of inclination (θ) on the flow are discussed and presented graphically.

The unsteady Couette flow through a porous medium of a viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel porous plates is studied with heat transfer. A uniform suction and injection are applied perpendicular to the plates while the fluid motion is subjected to a constant pressure gradient. The two plates are kept at different but constant temperatures while the viscous dissipation is included in the energy equation. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the uniform suction and injection on both the velocity and temperature distributions is examined.
