On hydromagnetic turbulent shear flow

Hydromagnetic turbulent shear flow of viscous incompressible, electrically conducting fluid between two infinite porous horizontal planes in presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field has been studied by the semi-empirical method. The expressions for the mean distributions for velocity and magnetic field have been obtained when the surfaces of the channel are nonconducting and conducting. Numerical results are shown graphically. (author). 9 refs
