Hall current effects in flow of a viscous fluid

An analysis indicating the effects of Hall current in the flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, viscous liquid past an infinite vertical porous plate is presented when the suction velocity normal to the plate is constant and the free stream velocity oscillates in time about a constant non-zero mean. The expressions for mean velocity, primary velocity, secondary velocity and skin-friction at the plate have been obtained and discussed. (author)
