Summary

An exact solution has been obtained for the problem of Hall effects on the hydromagnetic flow due to an impulsive start of a porous flat plate. It is observed that in the initial stages there is no inertial oscillation while at large time the steady state is reached through inertial oscillations. The time to attain the steady state increases with increase in Hall parameter.

Zusammenfassung

Für das Problem der Hall-Effekte bei der hydromagnetischen Strömung, durch den impulsartigen Start einer porösen, ebenen Platte, wurde eine exakte Lösung erhalten. Es wird beobachtet, daß im Anfangszustand keine Trägheitsschwingung auftritt, wogegen nach längerer Zeit der stationäre Zustand durch Trägheitsschwingungen erreicht wird. Die Zeit um den stationären Zustand zu erreichen, wächst mit dem Anwachsen der Hall-Parameter an.
