In the present research study a mathematical analysis has been presented for unsteady MHD natural convective flow of a rotating fluid over an infinite vertical plate immersed in a fluid saturated porous medium with oscillating free-stream. The effects of Hall and ion-slip currents also considered on the fluid flow. The unsteady MHD flow over the vertical plate is induced due to thermal and concentration buoyancy forces and oscillatory movement of the free-stream. The partial differential equations governing the motion for the fluid flow are solved analytically. The effects of various pertinent flow parameters on the fluid velocity, fluid temperature and species concentration are presented in graphical form whereas that on skin friction and rate of heat and mass transfer at the plate are presented in tabular form. An interesting observation recorded from the present analysis that there appears reversal flow in the secondary flow direction due to presence of thermal and/or concentration buoyancy forces. However, in the absence of both reversals flow does not exist in the secondary flow direction. It is also noted that the thickness of momentum boundary layer decreases with rise in frequency of oscillations of the free-stream.
