Abstract

This paper deals with the steady forced flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid against a porous rotating disk when a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the disk surface. For small suction the equations of motion are integrated numerically by Kármán-Pohlhausen method, but for large suction a series solution in the inverse powers of the suction parameter is obtained. The effects of disk porosity and magnetic field on the various flow parameters are discussed in detail.
