Abstract

Abstract
In this paper, the unsteady flow in a porous medium of a dusty viscous incompressible fluid through a circular pipe is studied taking the Hall effect into consideration. A constant pressure gradient in the axial direction and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the flow direction are applied. The particle-phase is assumed to behave as a viscous fluid. A numerical solution for the governing equations of motion is developed using the method of finite differences.
