Abstract :
Exact solutions for the magnetohydrodynamic (M H D) rotating flow of a second grade fluid in a porous medium have been obtained using integral transform technique. A uniform magnetic field has been applied in direction normal to the flow. Expressions for dimensionless velocity have been obtained for oscillating flows. The obtained solutions are expressed as a sum of steady-state and transient solutions and satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity is shown by graphical illustrations. The required time to reach the steady-state for sine and cosine oscillations of the plate is determined.
