Abstract:
In this paper we have study the laminar flow of fluid in
magnetic, viscous incompressible fluid flow between two
parallel plates of a channel in which on is porous bounding wall
and second is rigid bounding wall in the presence of magnetic
field when the fluid is being withdrawn through both walls of a
channel at same rate. A solution for the case of low Reynolds
number Re (suction Reynolds number) and Magnetic field M is
discussed. Expressions for the velocity components are obtained.
The governing non-linear differential equations are solved using
perturbation method analytically. Using matlab for the
calculating the data of the graph. The graph of axial and radial
velocity profiles have been drawn in different magnetic field and
different height of the channel.

1. Introduction
The flow of fluid in porous medium is very important
prevalent in nature and therefore the study of flow of
fluid through porous medium has become of principle
interest in many and engineering applications. Many
research workers have investigated the steady,
incompressible laminar flow of fluid in a channel with
uniform porous bounding walls. Cox and King [4],
studied the asymptotic solution of High order non-linear
ordinary differential equation. In the earlier analysis
majority have used no slip boundary conditions, but the
experimental investigation reveals the existence of slip
velocity at the porous bounding wall and is connected
with presence of a thin layer of stream wise moving fluid
just below the surface of the porous medium. Beavers et
al [2], has studied the experiments on coupled parallel
flow of fluid in a channel and a bounding porous
medium.
