Abstract

In this research, we explore the equations of motion governing the behaviour of a finitely conducting incompressible fluid with variable viscosity, heat transfer, and the presence of a transverse magnetic field. By solving these equations, we obtain exact solutions that describe flows in which the vorticity distribution is varying indirect proportion to the stream function perturbed by both uniform and exponent streams. To obtain these exact solutions, we introduce a transformation variable that allows us ttransforming a non-linear system into a linear form the governing equations. From there, we are able to derive several exact solutions that provide insight into the behaviour of the fluid in these conditions.
