Abstract

A mathematical analysis of the free convection flow of an incompressible viscoelastic(Rivlin-Ericksen) fluid from an infinite flat plate under variable suction acted upon by a transverse magnetic field is presented. It is found that the effect of viscoelasticity is to appreciably alter the skin-friction.
