In this note, the problem of an incompressible viscous fluid moving through
a porous medium (Brinkman model) between two wavy plates under the effects
of a constant inclined magnetic field that makes an angle with the vertica
l axis and constant suction, are studied numerically by a method related to
the method of Takabatake and Ayukawa in 1982. The present approach is not
restricted by any of the parameters appearing in the problem such as Reynol
ds number, magnetic parameter, suction parameter, the wave number and ampli
tude ratio. The variations in velocity, flow rate and pressure gradient wit
h the above governing parameters are presented. Moreover, the effect of var
ying the porous medium and the inclined angle is also studied.
