description The main purpose of this work is to completely solve two motion problems of some differential type fluids when velocity or shear stress is given on the boundary. In order to do that, isothermal MHD motions of incompressible second grade fluids over an infinite flat plate are analytically investigated when porous effects are taken into consideration. The fluid motion is due to the plate moving in its plane with an arbitrary time-dependent velocity or applying a time-dependent shear stress to the fluid. Closed-form expressions are established both for the dimensionless velocity and shear stress fields and the Darcy’s resistance corresponding to the first motion. The dimensionless shear stress corresponding to the second motion has been immediately obtained using a perfect symmetry between the governing equations of velocity and the non-trivial shear stress. Furthermore, the obtained results provide the first exact general solutions for MHD motions of second grade fluids through porous media. Finally, for illustration, as well as for their use in engineering applications, the starting and/or steady state solutions of some problems with technical relevance are provided, and the validation of the results is graphically proved. The influence of magnetic field and porous medium on the steady state and the flow resistance of fluid are graphically underlined and discussed. It was found that the flow resistance of the fluid declines or increases in the presence of a magnetic field or porous medium, respectively. In addition, the steady state is obtained earlier in the presence of a magnetic field or porous medium.
