Abstract
In this study, 3-D stagnation flow of an MHD viscous electrically conducting Casson fluid including effects of induced magnetic field, Hall current and radiative heat is analyzed. The unsteady state model governing the flow is analyzed by first coming up with non-linear partial differential equations. Secondly, similarity transformation is done to change the nonlinear partial differential equations which are non-linear to ordinary differential equations, in order to account for the boundary layer and ease the computation. The ordinary differential equations obtained are then solved numerically using the collocation method via the MATLAB software. Analysis is then done to investigate effects of flow parameters like Hall current, magnetic parameters, temperature field, the Casson parameter and unsteadiness parameter.
