Abstract
Author has studied the MHD Couette flow in a rotating environment with non- conducting walls in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field. The solution in dimensionless form contains four pertinent flow parameters, viz. the Hartmann number, the rotation parameter which is the reciprocal of the Ekman number, the Hall current parameter, and the angle of inclination of the magnetic field to the positive direction of the axis of rotation. An interplay of hydromagnetic force and Coriolis force with an inclusion of Hall current plays a significant role in determining the MHD flow behaviour. The velocity and induced magnetic field distributions are depicted graphically. Also, the numerical results of shear stresses and the rate of mass flows are presented graphically.
