Abstract

This study investigates the impact of variable permeability as well as chemical reactions on the oscillatory free convective flow that passes parallel porous flat plates with fluctuating temperature and concentration in the presence of a magnetic field. A vertical channel is assumed to be rotating at an angular velocity ?. Periodic free stream velocity causes oscillations in one plate, while periodic suction velocity causes oscillations in the other plate. Complex variable notations are used to solve the governing equations. The perturbation technique is used to derive analytical expressions for the temperature, concentration, and velocity fields. In this study, various parameters were investigated in relation to mean velocity, mean temperature, mean concentration, amplitude, and phase difference. The study also examines the impact on secondary velocity, primary velocity, temperature, concentration, and heat transfer rate during transients. The outcomes are presented graphically for the physical parameters of the problem. The findings contribute to optimizing systems and improving efficiency in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and environmental remediation. © 2025 World Scientific Publishing Company.
