The Magneto-Hydrodynamic Boundary Layer in the Two-Dimensional Steady Flow Past a Semi-Infinite Flat Plate. III. The Influence of an Adverse Magneto- Dynamic Pressure Gradient

Journal Article · · Proceedings of the Royal Society. A. Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
The boundary-layer flow of a viscous electrically conducting liquid is investigated in the neighborhood of a semi-infinite flat plate, the flow being opposed by a magneto-dynamic pressure gradient. The plate is assumed to be unmagnetized and the magnetic field well away from the plate is parallel to the plate. This is the extension of the Falkner & Skan problem to an electrically conducting liquid. The adverse magneto-dynamic pressure gradient being given by Cxn, an investigation is made of the viscous stress at the plate and also the critical values of the parameters C and n when this viscous stress vanishes. In the nonmagnetic case and in the magnetic case the critical adverse magneto- dynamic pressure gradient is obtained.
