An inviscid flow model is described for which only the vorticity equation was solved to find the effect of the magnetic field on the shock layer flow. The results for detachment distance and velocity, and pressure gradient are given graphically. The calculations indicate that the assumption that the pressure gradient is unaffected by the magnetic field is approximately correct under certain conditions. An analysis was made of the axisymmetric incompressible stagnation point boundary layer with constant magnetic field normal to the body, which showed that neither three-dimensionality nor compressibility has a significant effect on the heat transfer rate parameter ratio, while the viscous shear stress parameter ratio shows some effect of three- dimensionality but none of compressibility. A method is described for the calculation of the reduction in heat transfer rate and viscous shear stress caused by a magnetic field normal to the body. (B.O.G.)
