Abstract
This paper deals with the disturbance due to the steady rotation of some axisymmetric bodies in a viscous incompressible fluid of finite conductivity in which the uniform ambient flow field is collinear with the uniform magnetic field. The known results of Sowerby [1] for the couple on a rotating spheroid in a slow stream in an incompressible viscous fluid are generalized. The special case of a disk is investigated in detail. The assumed conditions of flow permit the use of Oseen's approximation. The couple is found to first order approximation in terms of R and M, where R is the Reynolds number and M the Hartmann number.
