Tóm tắt

Self-similar solutions of nonstationary equations of the boundary layer in ordinary hydrodynamics are discussed in [1, 2]. In this paper self-similar solutions of nonstationary equations of a plane magnetohydrodynarnic boundary layer are sought. In this case, a transformation to curvilinear coordinates of a certain special form is employed. Its choice is determined by the requirements essential to reducing the equations of the boundary layer to a system of ordinary equations. H. Weyl's iterative method is used to solve the equations describing the flow over a plate suddenly set in motion.
