Flow of a Conducting Fluid between Porous Disks for Large Suction Reynolds Number

Abstract

The magnetohydrodynamic laminar flow between two parallel porous disks is examined for large suction Reynolds number and arbitrary Hartmann number. The equations of motion are solved using the singular perturbation technique and the expressions for the velocity, pressure and shear stress distributions are obtained. The results of this analysis are compared with the case of large injection Reynolds number.
