HYDROMAGNETIC STAGNATION-POINT FLOW FOR SMALL Rm. Technical Report No. 5, February 1, 1961-January 31, 1962

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4803926
Hydromagnetic flow in the vicinity of a two-dimensional stagnation point was considered, when the electrical conductivity is small and the applied magnetic field is at an arbitrary angle to the surface. First, inviscid flow was treated. Perturbation in the magnetic Reynolds number was singular; the previously found logarithmic singularity in vonticity at the surface of an arbitrary body was symptomatic of this fact. Then viscous effects were included, and it became evident that similarity solutions by no means tell the whole story. The principal functions are tabulated. (auth)
