Abstract

This paper concerns the boundary layer on a semi-infinite flat plate in a uniform stream of conducting fluid, with magnetic field in the stream direction. It is found that when β, the square of the ratio of the Alfvén speed to the undisturbed fluid speed, is slightly less than unity, two solutions of the Greenspan-Carrier equations governing the motion exist for ε(= σμν) less than unity.
