Abstract

The effect of Hall currents on the hydromagnetic free-convection flow of an electrically conducting and incompressible viscous fluid past a uniformly accelerated infinite vertical porous plate is discussed. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed to be small so that the induced magnetic field can be neglected. The governing equations of the flow are solved by defining a complex velocity with the help of the Laplace transform method when the Prandtl number is equal to unity. The influence of the various parameters on the unsteady flow field is presented for both the cases, cooling and heating of the porous plate by free-convection currents.
