Flow past a continuously moving flat plate in transverse magnetic field

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The analysis of flow past a continuously moving semi-infinite flat plate in the presence of transverse magnetic field has been presented. Model solutions have been derived and the resulting equations are integrated numerically. Velocity profiles are displayed graphically and the numerical values of the transverse velocity skin friction are given in the form of tables. It has been observed that an increase inM (magnetic field parameter) leads to a decrease in velocity.
