Laminar boundary layers in three-dimensional MHD natural convective flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate with variable sinusoidal suction

The primary goal of this study is to investigate how the diffusion-thermo and thermo-diffusion affect a three-dimensional hydromagnetic natural convective flow of a radiating fluid past a uniformly moving isothermal and isosolutal semi-infinite vertical plate subjected to a sinusoidal suction velocity. The asymptotic series expansion method is adopted to solve the equations governing the flow model and to find the analytical solutions. The effect of variable suction on the flow and transport characteristics is mainly highlighted in the study. Both the diffusion-thermo and thermo-diffusion effects improve the fluid velocity.
