MHD flow of an elasto-viscous fluid past a porous flat plate

Abstract

An analytical study is performed to examine the laminar flow of an electrically-conducting elasto-viscous fluid (Walters's liquid B′) past an infinite porous flat plate to a step function change in suction velocity in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The influence of the various parameters, entering in the problem, on the velocity field and shearing stress is extensively discussed. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
