An analytical study has been performed to evaluate the flow of viscoelastic fluid through and past an infinite porous bed. A most general form of Darcy law has been taken into account when the free stream oscillates with or without a non-zero mean. In modeling the flow in the bed a separation of variable technique was utilized to represent the governing equations with appropriate boundary layer assumption. The effect of flow inertia was taken into consideration. Results obtained include velocity distributions of the fluid in the bed. The dependence of velocity profile on elasticity parameter of the fluid and permeability parameter of the medium with the variation of the time and position was also obtained and discussed graphically.

This paper is an analysis of an incompressible unsteady pulsatile laminar flow of electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluid through a channel bounded by two permeable plates taking into account the induced magnetic field and the effect of couple stresses on the flow. Solutions of the equations of motion are obtained by using Mathematica program and the effects of the various parameters entering the problem are discussed with the help of graphs. The main results show that the effect of couple stresses is to decrease the flow velocity and it is to increase (or decrease) the induced magnetic field near one of the boundaries and decrease (or increase) it near the other according to the time variation.
