Short summary
The present work provides the separation point and its relative location in a circular diffuser carrying incompressible laminar flow in the presence of a non-uniform external magnetic field. Two different approaches are deployed: a dual integral–numerical method and the least square method (LSM). The influence of magnetic field intensity on the separation position is observed.
