Heat transfer analysis for squeezing flow between parallel disks

Heat transfer analysis for the squeezing magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between parallel disks is considered. Upper disk is movable in upward and downward directions while the lower disk is fixed but permeable. Viable similarity transforms are used to convert the conservation law equations to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Resulting system is solved by using variational iteration method (VIM). Influence of flow parameters is discussed and numerical solution is sought using RK-4 method. A convergent solution is obtained just after few numbers of iterations.
