ABSTRACT
Some exact solutions are presented for the unsteady
boundary layer flows of a homogenous, viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by
(i) an infinite rigid oscillating flat plate or (ii) two parallel rigid
oscillating flat plates as presented in [7] was extended to porous media. An
explicit representation of the velocity fields for both the configurations has
been given. The structures of the associated periodic boundary layers are
determined with physical interpretations as in [4]. Several results of interest
have been recovered as special cases of this general theory. The Heaviside
operational calculus along with the theory of residues of analytic functions is
adopted in finding the solutions.
