Magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer about a rotating disk with suction and injection at the disk surface (Q1100054)

This paper studies the effects of an axial magnetic field on the flow and heat transfer about a porous rotating disk. Using modern quasi-Newton and globally convergent homotopy methods, numerical solutions are obtained for a wide range of magnetic field strengths and injection and suction velocities. Results are presented graphically in terms of three nondimensional parameters. There is excellent agreement with previous work and asymptotic formulas.
