Abstract
By means of a weakly nonlinear stability analysis it is shown that the Hartmann boundary layer presents subcritical instability in the proximity of the minimum linear critical Reynolds number. This gives further support to earlier speculations that finite amplitude effects account for the discrepancies between the results of the linear stability analysis and experimental evidence on laminarisation.
