Review text

The paper deals with unsteady natural convection on a heated vertical wall with arbitrary thermal flux or temperature distribution. An external constant magnetic field perpendicular to the wall is present. As usual, external forces in Navier-Stokes equations are modeled using Boussinesq approximation for convective flows. Introducing three infinite sets of form parameters, magnetic parameters and thermal parameters, and using the general similarity method, the authors derive a system of two universal equations with two integral equations for dimensionless dynamic boundary layer thickness and thermal boundary layer thickness. The system is treated in one-parametric approximation (for all three sets), and is solved numerically by using a finite difference procedure. Results are shown graphically, so that the influence of different parameters can be analyzed.
