Numerical Study of MHD Flow and Mixed Convection of a Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow Along a Vertical Wavy Plate

In this study, a numerical study of mixed convection of non-Newtonian fluid and magnetic field effect in constant heat flux boundary condition along a vertical wavy surface is investigated. A simple coordinate transformation to transform wavy surface to flat surface is employed. A cubic spline collocation numerical method is used for present analyses. The effec of magnetic field, amplitude wave length ratio
, the bouyancy parameter, generalized prandtl number and power law viscosity discussed and show graphically as skin friction coefficient, local and average Nusselt number.results show when imposing the magnetic field effect the local and average Nusselt number increase near the leading edge. Also with increasing the generalized prantle number the rate of heat transfer increase and the thermal and velocity boundary layer thickness decrease.
