Abstract

An exact analysis of free convection flow of an electrically conducting incompressible and viscous fluid past a vertical infinite porous plate under the action of a transverse magnetic field in a rotating fluid is presented. The plate and the fluid are assumed to rotate in a solid body rotation in a steady state. Exact solutions for the velocity and temperature field have been derived. The effects ofM (Hartmann number) on the flow characteristics are discussed.
