Abstract
The two-dimensional flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an infinite porous plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field has been considered. The plate moves with constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow. The suction velocity normal to the plate and the free stream velocity field vary exponentially with time. The expressions for the velocity field and the skin-friction have been obtained in non-dimensional form for two cases: (1) exponentially increasing small perturbation and (2) exponentially decreasing small perturbation. It has been concluded that there is a reverse type flow near the surface of the plate when it moves in the opposite direction to that of the flow. The skin-friction when the plate moves in the direction of flow is less than it is when the plate moves in the opposite direction.
