Abstract

An analysis of a two-dimensional unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible electrically-conducting fluid through a porous medium bounded by two infinite parallel plates under the action of a transverse magnetic field is presented. The lower plate is fixed while the other is oscillating in its own plane. Expressions for the transient velocity, the amplitude, the phase angle, and the skin-friction are derived. The effects of the magnetic parameters, permeability of the porous medium, and the frequency parameter are discussed.
