Abstract

SummaryThe two-dimensional stagnation flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible and viscous fluid against a plane wall is investigated for the case when the induced field is negligible compared to the imposed transverse magnetic field. It is found that the component of the velocity parallel to the plate as well as the drag coefficient decrease with the increase in the magnetic field. Furthermore, it is observed that the velocity component parallel to the plate is essentially constant except in a layer of constant thickness, a result which is true in the non-magnetic case also.
