Abstract

This paper aims at presenting exact solutions for MHD flow of couple stress fluid with
heat transfer. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) for an incompressible MHD flow
of couple stress fluid are reduced to ordinary differential equations by employing wave parameter.
The methodology is implemented for linearizing the flow equations without extra transformation
and restrictive assumptions. Comparison is made with the result obtained previously.
