Abstract: | The unsteady magnehydrodynamics (MHD) Couette flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a rotating system is investigated
by taking the Hall and ion-slip currents into consideration. The derived fundamental equations on the assumption of a small
magnetic Reynolds number are solved analytically with the well-known Laplace transform technique. The unified closed-form
expressions are obtained for the velocity and the skin friction in the two different cases of the magnetic field being fixed
to either the fluid or the moving plate. The effects of various parameters on the velocity and the skin friction are discussed
by graphs. The results reveal that the primary and secondary velocities increase with the Hall current. An increase in the
ion-slip parameter also leads to an increase in the primary velocity but a decrease in the secondary velocity. It is also
shown that the combined effect of the rotation, Hall, and ion-slip parameters determines the contribution of the secondary
motion in the fluid flow. |
