On boundary layer flow past a porous plate with variable suction or blowing
Abstract
A study is made of the nontorsionally generated hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic boundary layer flow in a semi-infinite expanse of rotating viscous fluid bounded by an infinite porous plate with variable suction or blowing. The main features of the flow field and the structure of the associated boundary layers are investigated. It is shown that the solution consists of the modified Ekman-Hartmann layer, and the secondary boundary layer which arises solely due to the fluctuation of suction or blowing at the plate.
