Non-steady MHD flow for a non-Newtonian fluid with variable conductivity

This paper deals with a similarity solution for the unsteady flow of a conducting non-Newtonian power-law in-compressible fluid, when a porous plate is moving uniformly in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, assuming that the electrical conductivity is a function of the velocity. The aim of this analysis is to determine the velocity and the effect of variation of the electrical conductivity on the solution. The basic equations have been solved by applying the perturbation method for small and large values of the magnetic interaction parameterN. The main features of the exact solution is that it represents shear flow.
