The flow of a laminar wall plume in a constant transverse magnetic field is considered. The results are obtained with the numerical solution of the governing equations and cover both small and large values and Prandtl numbers from 0.01 to 100. The similar wall plume has been investigated in the past but the nonsimilar has not been treated until now and it is solved here for the first time. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
