Hydromagnetic Ekman layer on free convection past an infinite porous flat plate

Abstract

Free convection in a conducting liquid past an infinite porous vertical flat plate in a rotating frame of reference when the Hall current is present is considered. Exact solutions for the velocity and temperature fields have been derived. The effects of M (Hartmann number), m (Hall parameter), and E (Ekman number) on the velocity field are discussed. © 1984 D.
