In this paper, three-dimensional flow of a second grade fluid along a horizontal infinite plate which is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction velocity distribution is studied. Due to variable suction velocity distribution the flow becomes three-dimensional and for constant suction the problem becomes two-dimensional. The free stream velocity is uniform and for small perturbation approximation, analytic technique is applied to obtain the expressions for velocity field and components of skin friction. The effect of second-grade parameter, Reynolds number and suction parameter on the velocity in the direction of main flow and on the stress components is investigated with the help of graphs. The existence of backflow is observed and it is noted that the Reynolds number and suction parameter are controlling parameters for the backflow.
