Abstract: | The focus of the present study is to obtain exact solutions for the flow of a viscous hydromagnetic fluid due to the rotation of an infinite disk in the presence of an axial uniform steady magnetic field with the inclusion of Hall current effect. In place of the traditional von Karman's axisymmetric evolution of the flow, the rotational non-axisymmetric stationary conducting flow is taken into consideration here, whose governing equations allow an exact solution to develop bounded everywhere in the normal direction to the wall.The three-dimensional equations of motion are treated analytically yielding derivation of exact solutions, which differ from those of corresponding to the classical von Karman's conducting flow. Making use of this solution, analytical formulas for the angular velocity components, for the current density field as well as for the wall shear stresses are extracted. The critical peripheral locations at which extrema of the local skin friction occur are also determined. It is proved from the analytical results that for the specific flow the properly defined thicknesses decay as the magnetic field strength increases in magnitude, approaching their hydrodynamic value in the limit of large Hall numbers.Interaction of the resolved flow field with the surrounding temperature is further analyzed via the energy equation. The temperature field is shown to accord with the dissipation function. According to the Fourier's heat law, a constant heat transfer from the disk to the fluid occurs, though it increases by the presence of magnetic field, the increase is slowed down by the Hall effect eventually reaching its hydrodynamic limit. |
