In this paper we consider the combined effects of viscous dissipation and heat generation on MHD natural convection flow along a vertical wavy surface are studied. The governing Navier-Stokes equations with associated boundary conditions are transformed into non-dimensional boundary layer equations using appropriate variables. Implicit finite difference method based on Keller-box scheme is used to solve these governing equations. The numerical results in terms of the skin friction coefficient, the rate of heat transfer in terms of local Nusselt number, the streamlines as well as the isotherms are discussed and shown graphically for different values of viscous dissipation parameter N, heat generation parameter Q and magnetic parameter M.
