The flow of an electrically conducting fluid at a rear stagnation point
Abstract
We consider the impulsively generated magnetohydrodynamic flow at a rear stagnation point. The work of Leibovich is carried further by formulating the inner viscous problem and providing analytical solutions and complete numerical solutions for the entire range of the interaction parameter. It is shown that the present results are consistent with previously obtained numerical solutions to the steady equations of both similarity and non-similarity form.
