We introduce a magnetohydrodynamic model of boundary-layer equations for conducting viscous fluids. This model is applied to study the effects of free convection currents with thermal relaxation time on the flow of a viscous conducting fluid. The method of the matrix exponential formulation for these equations is introduced. The resulting formulation together with the Laplace transform technique is applied to a variety problems. The effects of a plane distribution of heat sources on the whole and semispace are studied. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the problem. 1. Introduction The modification of the heat-conduction equation from diffusive to a wave type may be affected either by a microscopic consideration of the phenomenon of heat transport or in a phenomenological way by modifying the classical Fourier law of heat conduction. Many authors have considered various aspects of this problem and obtained similarity solutions. Samaan 1 investigated steady oscillating magnetohydrodynamic flow in
