Hydromagnetic free convection flow from a horizontal plate: Non-similar solutions

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

The boundary layer equations of electrically conducting fluids over a semi-infinite horizontal flat plate due to the simultaneous action of buoyancy and applied vertical magnetic field are derived. The case when the surface temperature and the applied magnetic field are constant is studied in detail by Karman-Pohlhausen integral technique. Expressions for the shear stress and heat transfer at the plate are calculated for small Hartmann number and for any Prandtl number.
