That is why the present study deals with the influence of nonlinear convection, viscous, and Joule dissipation of the temperature and velocity profile of incompressible fluid over a flat plate. In this study, the magnetic field acts perpendicular to the fluid flow and is supposed to be of uniform magnitude. Further, the Newtonian fluid, which is electrically conducting, passes over an infinite vertical flat plate under an oscillatory motion. The term representing the influence of the nonlinear convection phenomenon is integrated into the Navier\u2013Stokes equation. The governing equations of the mentioned study were modeled in the form of non-linear PDEs and modified as non-dimensional equations via appropriate scaling analyses, which resulted in coupled and non-linear PDEs. For the numerical solution of the transformed non-linear PDEs, the finite difference method was applied. Finally, we present the effects of various flow parameters via graphical illustrations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14101988","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]],"date-time":"2022-09-23T04:07:07Z","timestamp":1663906027000},"page":"1988","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Finite Difference Simulation of Nonlinear Convection in Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in the Presence of Viscous and Joule Dissipation over an Oscillating Plate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Muhammad Samad","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, NED University of Engineering and Technology, University Road, Karachi 75270, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0940-703X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mubashir Ali","family":"Siddiqui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, NED University of Engineering and Technology, University Road, Karachi 75270, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8818-5980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Idrees","family":"Afridi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mathematics and Statistics, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.2478\/ijame-2019-0047","article-title":"Effects of viscous dissipation and wall conduction on steady mixed convection Couette flow of heat generation\/absorbing fluid","volume":"24","author":"Ajibade","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
