CITATION: Prakash, O. M., Makinde, O. D., Kumar, D. & Dwivedi, Y. K. 2015. Heat transfer to MHD oscillatory dusty fluid flow in a channel filled with a porous medium. Sadhana, 40(4):1273–1282, doi:10.1007/s12046-015-0371-9.The original publication is available at http://link.springer.com/journal/12046In this paper, we examine the combined effects of thermal radiation, buoyancy force and magnetic field on oscillatory flow of a conducting optically thin dusty fluid through a vertical channel filled with a saturated porous medium. The governing partial differential equations are obtained and solved analytically by variable separable method. Numerical results depicting the effects of various embedded parameters like radiation number, Hartmann number and Grashof number on dusty fluid velocity profiles, temperature profiles, Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient are presented graphically and discussed qualitatively.Publisher's versio
