Abstract: | Certain solutions of Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer equations for a flat plate with a transverse magnetic field fixed relative to the fluid have been obtained using a power-series method given by Hassan. This power series solution has all the desirable qualities of Görtler series and, in addition, its zeroth order term which is governed by a non-linear total differential equation can be given in closed form. The first order term governed by a linear total differential equation has been integrated numerically. The results are tabulated for various values of S, the interaction parameter. The results show a decrease in the boundary layer thickness with a consequent increase in skin friction as the strength of magnetic field is increased. |
