AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">The main theme of the current article is to investigate the heat transfer in
the pulsatile flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid in a constricted channel
under the effect of the magnetic field and thermal radiation. The unsteady governing equations simplified for low conducting fluids are solved numerically by finite
difference method using stream-vorticity function formulation. The influence of the
flow parameters such as the Hartmann number (magnetic parameter), Strouhal number (flow pulsation parameter), Prandtl number, and radiation parameter is studied on
the relevant flow profiles. The influence of different emerging parameters on the skin
friction coefficient and Nusselt number are examined, as well. In general, the profiles
are observed to exhibit a relatively more regular pattern upstream of the construction
than that downstream of the constriction.</p>
