Abstract

Flow characteristics of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible fluid, due to an infinite impervious eccentrically rotating disk with a slight difference in speed, has been investigated in the presence of uniform magnetic field which is applied in the direction normal to the flow. Flow governing equation between the eccentrically placed disks is solved by the perturbation method. Analytical expressions for the velocities, moment at the disk and shearing stress were derived and the effects of various parameters upon them are examined.
