Abstract
The unsteady laminar flow of a couple stress fluid is taken into account. Fluid is flowing through a channel whose walls are oscillatory in nature. The fluid is an electrically conducting one. Electric field is applied between two walls to study the effect of couple stress parameter in the ionized motion of the fluid. The distribution of velocity with the changes in couple stress parameter is plotted in three dimensional graphs. It is revealed that the stresses arising from the couple force has a significant effect on the velocity of fluid.
