Study of Laminar Flow Stagnation Problem for a Viscous Fluid with Transverse Magnetic Effect in Axial and Radial Directions

Abstract

The 2-D Fluid flow problem which is considered as a Stagnation problem for viscous fluid with electrical conductivity in both axial and radial directions with transverse magnetic effect is studied. Due to increase in magnetic field, velocity component of the plate which is parallel decreases its drag coefficient. It is also seen that the velocity component is constant everywhere except the layer which is of constant thickness and is observed to be true for non-magnetic cases also. Stagnation point flow problems are encountered in problems involving stretching or shrinking sheets.
