Abstract

This paper is concerned with the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer in uniform flow past a flat plate, when a uniform magnetic field in the stream direction is applied at the plate. For both large and small values of the electrical conductivity parameter, solutions in series are derived for the velocity and magnetic fields. In each of the cases it is shown that if the strength of the applied field exceeds a certain critical value, boundary-layer separation occurs.
