Abstract
The boundary layer flow over a moving continuous flat plate in an elec trically conducting ambient fluid with a step change in the applied ma gnetic field is considered. The governing equations are solved numeric ally using the Keller box method. It is shown that the skin friction d ecreases as the magnetic parameter increases.
