Abstract
This paper deals with the two-dimensional unsteady flow of a conducting viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel, porous plates, one of which is fixed, while the other is uniformly accelerated, when there is a transverse magnetic field. It is shown that, for a given Hartmann number M, as suction parameter β increases, the velocity at any point of the fluid increases, the Skin friction at the stationary plate increases, while that at the accelerated plate decreases. The results are true, as time T increases, for given Hartmann number M and the suction parameter β. The results also hold good for a given β, as M increases when the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the plate, while they are just opposite for the magnetic lines of force fixed relative to the fluid.
