Abstract
Radiation effects on MHD free convective flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an oscillating vertical porous plate with uniform suction or blowing at the plate in the presence of a uniform magnetic filed have been studied. The governing equations are solved analytically. It is observed that the velocity decreases near the plate and it increases away from the plate with an increase in either magnetic parameter or radiation parameter or Prandtl number or suction parameter or frequency parameter or phase angle. The fluid velocity increases with an increase in Grashof number. The solution exists for the blowing at the plate. It is seen that the fluid temperature decreases near the plate and it increases away from the plate with an increase in either radiation parameter or Prandtl number or suction parameter or frequency parameter. Further, it is seen that the amplitude of the shear stress and the tangent of the phase angle at the plate decrease with an increase in either radiation parameter or Prandtl number or suction parameter.
