Abstract: The problem of unsteady Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow with heat and mass transfer near the stagnation point of a three-dimensional (3D) porous body in the presence of heat source/sink and chemical reaction effect has been studied numerically using an efficient iterative implicit finite-difference method. The numerical results are validated by favourable comparisons with previously published work. Three forms for the free stream velocity distributions namely a constantly accelerating flow, a periodic fluctuating flow and an exponentially decelerating flow are considered. Numerical results for the velocity components in the x-and y-directions, temperature distribution and concentration distribution as well as the skin-friction coefficients and the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented graphically for various parametric conditions and discussed.
