✦ Synopsis

An analytical continuum solution of the Rayleigh problem ir~ slip flow with applied magnetic field is obtained using a modified initial condition and slip boundary conditions. Tile results are uniformly valid for all times and show that the velocity slip and the local skin friction coefficient remain almost unaffected by the imposition of the magnetic field for small times. They increase however with the magnetic field for large times. The present results reduce to the corresponding results of tile hydrodynamic case when there is no magnetic field. -1.
