Abstract

A uniform transverse magnetic field acts across an infinite flat plate immersed in a conducting fluid of arbitrary magnetic Prandtl number. The skin friction on the plate for the class of accelerated motions Ut k is discussed for a), a perfect conductor and b), an insulator. Residual stresses are demonstrated in both instances.
