The article’s objective is to study the magnetohydrodynamic fluctuating free convection flow of incompressible electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid in a porous medium in the presence of a pressure gradient. The flow is between two parallel plates; the lower plate is at rest, while the upper plate moves with a free stream velocity U t . A uniform magnetic field of strength B0 is applied transversely to the fluid motion. The dimensional governing equations and physical initial and boundary conditions are nondimensionalized by inserting appropriate dimensionless variables. Furthermore, Lighthill’s method is used to obtain exact analytical solutions for the velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions. Finally, the influences of inserted parameters are studied through plots and discussed physically. The numerical results are calculated and presented in tabular form for skin friction. It is worth mentioning that when the viscoelastic parameter α 1 tends to zero, the obtained general solution is reduced to Newtonian fluid, which shows the validity and correctness of our obtained exact solutions.

Rotating effects and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of second grade fluids in a porous medium is considered in this paper. It is assumed that the bounding infinite inclined plate has ramped wall temperature with the presence of heat and mass diffusion. Based on Boussinesq approximation, the analytical expressions for dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained by using the Laplace transform method. All the derived solutions satisfying the involved differential equations with imposed boundary and initial conditions. The influence of various parameters on the velocity has been analyzed in graphs and discussed.

In this paper, the problem of unsteady free convection flow moves along a vertical plate in a second grade fluid is studied. The vertical plate with constant temperature is considered. The dimensional governing equations are transformed into non dimensional equations using appropriate dimensionless variables and solved numerically using Finite Difference Method. Numerical results for velocity and temperature profiles are displayed graphically for viscoelastic parameter, Grashof number and Prandtl number and discussed in details. It is found that, increasing the values of Grashof number and time leads to increase in the velocity profiles. Increasing the values of the Prandtl number and viscoelastic parameter is found to decrease the velocity profile. It is further found that, increasing the values of Prandtl number tends to decrease the thermal boundary layer thickness.
