A study of unsteady MHD free convection flow through a porous vertical flat plate immersed in a porous medium in presence of magnetic field with radiation has been analyzed. Introducing a time dependent suction to the plate, a similarity procedure has been adopted by taking a time dependent similarity parameter. In this analysis we consider a Darcy-Forchhemier model and the corresponding momentum and energy equations have been solved numerically, for cooling and heating of the plate by employing Nachtsheim-Swigert iteration technique along with the sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Non-dimensional velocity and temperature profiles are then presented graphically for different values of the parameter entering into the problem. During the process of numerical computations the skin-friction coefficient (viscous drag) and the rate of heat transfer (Nusselt number), which are of physical interest, are sorted out and presented in the form of tables.
