Abstract

The three-dimensional flow of an electrically conducting and incompressible viscous fluid past a uniformly accelerated infinite vertical porous plate is studied in a rotating fluid. The flow is assumed to be at small magnetic Reynolds number so that the induced magnetic field is neglected. An exact solution has been obtained by defining a complex velocity with the help of the Laplace transform method for the Prandtl number equal to unity. The effects of rotation, magnetic and free-convection parameters are discussed for the whole problem. Also, the skin-friction components on the plate are discussed.
