We have introduced a magnetohydrodynamic model of boundary-layer equations for a perfectly conducting couple-stress fluid. This model is applied to study the effects of free convection currents with thermal relaxation on the flow of a polar fluid through a porous medium, which is bounded by a vertical plane surface. The state space formulation developed in EZZAT [1] and [2j is introduced. The formulation is valid for problems with or without heat sources. The resulting formulation, together with the Laplace transform technique, are applied to a variety of problems. The solution to a thermal shock problem and to the problem of the flow in the whole space with a plane distribution of heat sources are obtained. It is also applied to a semispace problem with a plane distribution of heat sources located inside the fluid. A numerical method is employed for the inversion of the Laplace transforms. The effects of Grashof number, material parameters, Alfven velocity, relaxation time, Prandtl number and the permeability parameter on the velocity, the temperature and the angular velocity distributions are discussed. The effects of cooling and heating of a couple-stress fluid have also been discussed. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the problems considered.
