Abstract

The unsteady unidirectional MHD flow of an incompressible Erying Powell model between two parallel infinite porous plates with variable suction/injection velocity under the action of uniform magnetic field and couple stresses is analyzed analytically and numerically. The change appearing in model due to various non-dimensional parameters is discussed and presented graphically. It is predicted that in electrically conducting polar fluids, couple stress effects may be large.
