Abstract
This paper is concerned with the boundary layer on a semi-infinite flat plate in a uniform stream of conducting fluid, with a magnetic field in the stream direction such that the Alfvén speed is less than the undisturbed fluid speed. Series solutions are derived which are applicable for large and small values of the electrical conductivity, and which give a guide as to the validity and limitations of theories which assume the fluid to have infinite or zero conductivity.
