MHD swirling jet which originates from a ciruclar slit (Q1108901)

The effects of an axial magnetic field, which varies inversely as the radius vector, on the velocity distributions in a swirling jet of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid are studied. It is noted that the radial as well as tangential velocity decrease near the slit of the jet with the increase in the value of the magnetic interaction parameter. These decelerated fluid particles move in the positive axial direction and the points where they exactly balance the motion of the incoming fluid have been calculated for different values of the magnetic interaction parameter.
