Abstract

An initial value investigation is made of the motion of an incompressible viscous conducting fluid with embedded small spherical particles bounded by two infinite rigid non-conducting plates. The flow is generated in the fluid-particle system due to rectilinear oscillations of given frequencies superimposed on the plates in presence of an external transverse magnetic field. The operational method is used to derive exact solutions for the fluid and the particle velocities and the wall shear stress. It is shown that the effect of the dust particles on the fluid velocity depends on the time periods of the oscillating plates. When the time-periods are small, i.e., when the plates oscillate with high frequency, the fluid motion is found to be retarded by the particles. However, when the plates oscillate with larger time periods (smaller frequencies), the fluid velocity is increased by the presence of the particles at the early stage of the motion, and this effect persists until the equilibrium is reached when the particles exert their influence to resist the flow.
