A steady two-dimensional MHD boundary-layer flow on a flat plate with a uniform transpiration through the plate, a constant hydrostatic pressure, and a varying free-stream velocity along the flow direction is considered. The momentum boundary-layer thickness is found to increase substantially with the magnetic interaction number and injection. The shearing stress at the wall decreases with the increasing magnetic interaction number and injection. Both increases will certainly enhance the chance of a flow separation from the plate.
