Abstract

AbstractThe flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid past, a semi‐infinite flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is studied considering the effect of uniform suction or injection. The transformed boundary layer equations are obtained, and the numerical calculations of resulting equations are performed for various values of magnetic parameter and suction or injection parameter. The neutral stability curves for wavelike disturbances of Tollmien‐Schlichting type are then presented for the velocity profiles obtained above. The results are given for the velocity profiles, coefficient of skin friction, displacement thickness and the critical Reynolds numbers.
