Abstract

The flow of an electrically conducting fluid up a hot vertical plate in the presence of a strong magnetic field normal to the plate is considered. A solution is developed based on the idea of matching ‘outer’ and ‘inner’ solutions in the moving layer of fluid. An approximate Pohlhausen method of solution is also given which yields results in fairly good agreement with the exact analysis.
