Abstract The unsteady flow of an incompressible Oldroyd-B fluid in a circular duct embedded in a porous medium is studied. The fluid is conducting in the presence of a transverse magnetic field and the influence of Hall currents is investigated. The motion in the duct is generated by a given but arbitrary time dependent inlet volume flow rate. Laplace transform technique is used to determine the exact solutions for the four cases: (a) constantly accelerated flow, (b) sudden started flow, (c) the flow rate has a trapezoidal variation with time and (d) oscillatory flow.

1. Introduction Porous materials are important in many scientific and engineering applications such as catalysis, hydrology tissue engineering, membrane separation process, wetting and drying processes, powder technology, contaminant transport in soil and aquifers, and enhanced oil recovery. The prediction of the effective or macroscopic transport properties in these porous materials is a longstanding problem of great fundamental and practical significance [1]. The

theoretical prediction of macroscopic transport properties of porous media is made difficult by its complex dependence on composition and structure of pore space. In an ionized gas where the density is low and/or the magnetic field is very strong, the conductivity normal to the magnetic field is reduced due to the free spiraling of electrons and ions about the magnetic lines of force before suffering collisions; also a current is induced in a direction normal to both the electric and the magnetic fields. This phenomenon, well known in the literature, is called the Hall effect. The study of magnetohydrodynamic flows with Hall currents has important engineering applications in problems of magnetohydrodynamic generators and of Hall accelerators as well as in flight magnetohydrodynamics. The flow of fluid in a circular duct/pipe is of considerable interest in the technical field due to its frequent occurrence in industrial and technological applications. Many papers in this field have been published by Szymanski [2], Uchida [3], Weinbaum and Parker [4], Lefebvre and White [5], Das and Arakeri [6], and Chen et al. [7]. In all these investigations, the effects of Hall currents in a porous medium are not considered. In this work, we investigate the effect of Hall current on unsteady flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid in a circular duct. The magnetohydrodynamic fluid fills the porous space. The layout of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, we give the problem formulation. Section 3 contains the exact solution corresponding to the general case. Some special solutions for flows are presented in Section 3.1. Finally, in Section 4 the concluding remarks are given. 2. Mathematical formulation We consider a cylindrical coordinate system ðr; /; zÞ in which r is the radial direction, / is the circumferential direction and z-axis is taken as the center line direction of the circular duct. We consider an incompressible, unidirectional and electrically conducting fluid filling the porous space. The magnetic field B0 is applied in the z-direction. All the physical properties of the fluid are assumed to be constant. The fluid is taken as an Oldroyd-B fluid. The governing equations are given by [8,9]. Continuity equation: div V ¼ 0:

4. Concluding remarks We have examined the governing equation for an unsteady, incompressible, electrically conducting, Oldroyd-B fluid in circular duct in a porous medium. Analytical results up to oðN Þ are presented to illustrate the details of the flow and Hall and porosity effects and their depedence on the material parameters. We observe that in steady state the results are identical to that of Newtonian fluid. In the special case, when one of the two times of retardation or relaxation tends to zero, our solutions reduce to those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid or a second grade one. If both times k and h ! 0 the solution corresponding to a Newtonian fluid are obtained. The steady state flows are also obtained as a

limiting case for t ! 1. The results in absence of Hall current and porosity are obtained by taking N ¼ 0.
