Abstract

The flow past an infinite vertical isothermal plate started impulsively in its own plane in a viscous incompressible and electricalfy conducting fluid has been presented in a rotating system. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed small so that the induced magnetic field can be neglected. The governing equations of the flow are solved by defining a complex variable with the help of the Laplace transform technique. The influence of the various parameters, occurring into the problem, on the axial and transverse components of the velocity and skin-friction is extensively discussed with the help of graphs and table.
