%0 Journal Article %T On a similarity solution of MHD boundary layer flow over a moving vertical cylinder %A Maryem Amkadni %A Adnane Azzouzi %J International Journal of Differential Equations %D 2006 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/denm/2006/52765 %X The steady flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a semi-infinite moving vertical cylinder in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is analyzed. The partial differential equations governing the flow are reduced to an ordinary differential equation, using the self-similarity transformation. The analysis deals with the existence of an exact solution to the boundary value problem by a shooting method. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijde/2006/052765/abs/
