Abstract
In this article, a magnetohydrodynamic flow equation in an infinite region is solved for an arbitrary angle α between an external induced magnetic field and the y-axis for high Hartmann numbers up to 10⁴ using the boundary element method. Due to the regularity of the boundary conditions, it is shown that the corresponding boundary integrals are restricted only to the x-axis. Numerical results for different angels and high Hartmann numbers are presented. Figs 5, Refs 15.
