The governing equations have been solved by finite difference method. The analytical expressions for the velocity profiles of the fluid have been obtained and numerical computations involved in the solution have been shown by tables. The effects of various parameters on the flow field have been discussed with the help of graphs and tables. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmo/1/3/5/ajmo-1-3-5.pdf magnetohydrodynamicsplaner channelperiodic flowviscous fluidHartmann numberFinite difference technique
