Stability of plane Poiseuille flow of viscoelastic fluids in the presence of a transverse magnetic field

The linear stability of plan Poiseuille flow of an electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is investigated numerically. The fourth-order Sommerfeld equation governing the stability analysis is solved by spectral method with expansions in lagrange’s p...
