ABSTRACT: This paper presents the unsteady
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid between two side
walls perpendicular to a plate. The flow is generated from rest at time induced by
stress applied on the bottom plate. The stress is assumed to be like sawtooth
pulses with quadratic edges. The solutions obtained by means of the Laplace,
and Fourier cosine and sine transforms are presented as a sum between the
corresponding Newtonian and non-Newtonian contributions. Graphs are sketched
for various parameters of interest.
