Abstract
The unsteady flow of an incompressible electrically-conducting and elasto-viscous fluid (Walter's liquidB′), filling the semi-infinite space, in contact with an infinite non-conducting plate, in a rotating medium and in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is investigated. An arbitrary time-dependent forcing effect on the motion of the plate is considered and the plate and fluid rotate uniformly as a rigid body. The solution of the problem is obtained with the help of the Laplace transform technique and the analytical expressions for the velocity field as well as for the skin-friction are given.
