<jats:p>In this paper, influence of magnetic field on turbulence characteristics of twodimensional flow is investigated. The present study has been undertaken to understand the effects of a magnetic field on mean velocities and turbulence parameters in turbulent 2-D channel flow. Several cases are considered. First laminar flow in a channel and MHD laminar channel flow are analyzed in order to validate model of magnetic field influence on electrically conducting fluid flow. Main part of the paper is focused on MHD turbulence suppression for 2-D turbulent flow in a channel and around the flat plate. The simulations are performed using ANSYS CFX software. Simulations results are obtained with BSL Reynolds stress model for turbulent and MHD turbulent flow around flat plate. The nature of the flow has been examined through distribution of mean velocities, turbulent fluctuations, vorticity, Reynolds stresses and turbulent kinetic energy.</jats:p>
