Abstract
MHD forced and free convection flow of water at 4-degrees-C through a porous medium in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field i s considered. A family of solutions of the coupled non-linear equation s is presented using shooting numerical techniques for two point bound ary value problems. Velocity and temperature profiles are shown for di fferent values of the parameters Ha2/Re, Gr/Re2 and K.
