Unsteady free convection flow from a vertical plate in the presence of a uniform magnetic field
Abstract
The unsteady free convection flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid from an infinite vertical plate in the presence of a uniform magnetic field has been studied. Simple closed form expressions for the velocity and the magnetic field are obtained for the case when the magnetic Prandtl number is unity and the thermal Prandtl number is arbitrary.
