Abstract

This investigation deals with the time-dependent flow of an incompressible viscous fluid bounded by an infinite plate. The fluid is electrically conducting under the influence of a transverse magnetic field. The plate moves with a time dependent velocity in its own plane. Both fluid and plate exhibit rigid body rotation with a constant angular velocity. The solutions for arbitrary velocity and magnetic field is presented through similarity and numerical approaches. It is found that rotation induces oscillations in the flow.
