Abstract: | Oscillatory MHD Couette flow of electrically conducting fluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system in the presence
of an inclined magnetic field is considered when the upper plate is held at rest and the lower plate oscillates non-torsionally
. An exact solution of the governing equations has been obtained by using Laplace transform technique. Asymptotic behavior
of the solution is analyzed for M
2
≪1, K
2
≪1 and ω
≪1 and for large M
2, K
2 and ω. Numerical results of velocities are depicted graphically and the frictional shearing stresses are presented in tables. It
is found that a thin boundary layer is formed near the lower plate, for large values of rotation parameter K
2, Hartman number M
2 and frequency parameter ω. The thickness of this boundary layer increases with increase in inclination of the magnetic field with the axis of rotation. |
