Abstract

This study examines the numerical solutions of an unsteady natural convection Couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between the two vertical parallel plates in the presence of thermal radiation, Soret and Dufour. The fundamental dimensionless governing partial differential equations for the impulsive movement of the plate are solved by method of lines (MOL). The numerical simulations for the effects of Soret and Dufour on the velocity profile, the temperature profile and the concentration profile of the flow are shown graphically. The analysis indicates that the fluid velocity is an increasing function of Soret and Dufour numbers. Also, the concentration profile and the temperature profile increase with increase in the Soret number and Dufour number respectively.
