Summary
The effect of the elastic properties of the fluid on the MHD Couette flow of a conducting viscous fluid between two parallel walls is studied when one wall is fixed and the other is moving periodically in time. Exact solution for the velocity field in the boundary layer is obtained. Also expressions for the shear stress at different layers and the skin-friction at the two walls have been obtained.
