Hydromagnetic Stokes flow past a rotating sphere
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 April 2006
Abstract
In the present investigation we consider hydromagnetic Stokes flow past a rotating sphere. The magnetic field is produced by a magnetic pole placed at the centre of the sphere. The problem is analysed by a combination of perturbation and numerical methods. It is seen that the flow reversal (due to rotation) at the rear portion of the sphere is enhanced as the strength of the magnetic field increases. In addition, we obtain the simultaneous effects of rotation and a magnetic field on the streamlines.
