Abstract
The problem of flow of an electrically conducting viscous liquid due to the time-varying motion of an infinite porous plate has been studied. There is a uniform magnetic field imposed transversely to the plate and the magnetic lines of force are taken to be fixed relative to the fluid. Exact solutions for the velocity field and the skin-friction have been obtained and some particular cases have been discussed. The effect of suction parameter and magnetic field strength on the flow characteristics have been depicted through several graphs and tables.
