An unsteady Couette flow between two parallel plates when upper plates oscillates in its own plane and is subjected to a constant suction and the lower plate to a injection velocity distribution through the porous medium has been analyzed. The approximate solution has been obtained using perturbation technique. It is seen that the primary velocity increases whereas the secondary velocity decreases with an increase in permeability parameter. It is also found that the primary velocity increases with an increase in the Reynolds number as well as the suction parameter. The magnitude of the secondary velocity increases near the stationary plate but decreases near the oscillating plate with an increase in the Reynolds number. Whereas, it increases with an increase in the suction parameter.
