Hydromagnetic Flow Due to the Torsional Oscillations of a Porous Infinite Plate

Abstract

A theoretical analysis is made of the hydromagnetic laminar flow due to the torsional oscillations of an infinite plate when suction is applied at the plate surface. The solution is obtained by expanding the velocity components and the pressure in powers of the amplitude of oscillation of the plate. The combined effects of magnetic field and suction on the flow characteristics have been studied.
