Gupta, A. S.

An analysis is made for a uniform shear flow of an incompressible, viscous, and perfectly electrically conducting fluid past a porous flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. It is shown that in the case of suction an asymptotic profile similar to that of Griffith and Meredith (for the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a porous plate) exists if the suction velocity is greater than the Alfven velocity. In the case of injection, however, the asymptotic profile will exist if the Alfven velocity is greater than the velocity of injection.
