In (1) the velocity and magnetic fields were studied in the stagnation point region of a magnetized blunt body rotating with angular speed Ω. Some familiarity with this paper is assumed here: briefly, the nose section of the body was approximated by a disc of thickness t and conductivity σ′ and a perturbation solution was derived for small values of the diffusivity ratio ε (= ν/λ) and of the magnetic force coefficient N = σB2/4ρa. B is the uniform normal field component at the upperside (z = 0) of the disc, a is the strength of the external flow, p and σ are the density and conductivity of the fluid. The other two governing parameters are ω = Ω/a and β = σ′/σL, where L = (λ/a)½.
