Hall effects on MHD flow past an accelerated plate

The simultaneous effects of rotation and Hall current on the hydromagnetic flow past an accelerated horizontal plate relative to a rotating fluid is presented. The transverse motion (transverse to the main flow) disappears and the fluid moves in the direction of the plate only. The effects of the parameters on the axial and transverse velocity profiles are shown graphically, whereas the effects of the parameters on the skin-friction components are shown by tabular values.
