Abstract

The unsteady hydromagnetic flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two parallel disks rotating with the same angular velocity initially about non-coincident axes, which are suddenly made coincident, has been studied. An analytical solution describing the flow at large and small times after the start is obtained by the use of Laplace transform technique. The physical interpretations for the emerging parameters are discussed with the help of graphs. The shear stresses obtained from the general solution and from the solution for small time are compared.
