Unsteady couette flow of a conducting fluid between two parallel plates under a transverse magnetic field—II

The effect of a sudden change in magnetic field and pressure gradient on a steady Couette flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel plates in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. Expressions for the velocity of the fluid in the disturbed flow, the intensities of the electrical and magnetic fields are obtained in two cases when the plates are non-conducting and when they are perfectly conducting.
