Summary

Exact solutions are established for the equations of a class of an unsteady, plane, second grade, electrically conducting, MHD aligned fluid which undergoes isochoric motion. This class consists of flows for which the vorticity distribution is proportional to the stream function perturbed by a uniform stream.
