Hall effects on the magnetohydrodynamic shear flow past an infinite porous flat plate subjected to uniform suction or blowing

An analysis is made of Hall effects on the steady shear flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an infinite porous plate in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. It is shown that for suction at the plate, steady shear flow solution exists only when S2

► Hall effects on MHD shear flow past an infinite porous plate have been studied. ► Steady shear flow also exists in the case of blowing at the plate. ► The streamwise pressure gradient is independent of the Hall effects. ► The primary flow velocity decreases with increase in Hall parameter m. ► The cross-flow velocity first increases and then decreases with increase in m.
