Abstract

The finite difference approximation technique using the explicit method is used for solving the unsteady flow of an electrically conducting viscous and incompressible fluid, subjected to a normal homogenous magnetic field. The flow is confined on one side of a non-magnetic infinite limiting surface (wall) which is initially at rest and then is suddenly accelerated in its own plane with a velocity which is a general function of time. The wall is porous and we assume that the Prandtl number of the fluid corresponds to the case of water and that the magnetic Prandtl number is equal to one. Quantitative discussion of the results is presented for the case of uniformly accelerated motion of the wall.
