Abstract

The boundary layers due to finite viscosity and magnetic diffusivity are studied in relation to two models of the flow of a conducting fluid past a body in an aligned magnetic field. In each case it is deduced that the growth of the boundary layer may have substantial effects, such as to raise doubts about the validity of the assumed basic flow patterns.
