In this section we study of a theoretical analysis of two dimensional flow of Rivlin-Ericksen fluid through a porous medium. The unsteady laminar flow of an elastico-viscous fluid suspended with a uniform distribution of non conducting dust particles in presence of uniform transverse magnetic field fixed relative to the plate which is applied perpendicular to the flow of fluid is considered. The velocity field for the conducting dusty fluid, non conducting dust particles and the skin friction at the plate are obtained for large value of time. The effect of magnetic field, porosity and the mass concentration of the dust particle on velocity and skin friction are discussed numerically and graphically.
