Abstract

 

Magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) stokes problem for a vertical semi-infinite plate in a dissipative rotating fluid with hall current has been considered. The partial differential equations governing the problem are framed and then solved using numerical methods of implicit finite difference approximations.  An analysis of effects of parameter on the velocity (both primary and secondary) profiles and temperature distribution profiles are shown graphically and the results are discussed.

 

Key words:  Hall current, dissipative fluid, rotational parameter.
