Abstract

The unsteady three-dimensional convective flow of a viscous incompressible, electrically conducting fluid over a vertical, insulated, porous surface moving in a parallel free stream has been investigated, which flows belong to a separate class of problem of boundary layer theory. The effects of heat and mass transfer on this unsteady laminar flow past porous surface with transverse sinusoidal suction and oscillatory wall temperature have been analysed and discussed.
