The Riga plate is a substantial alteration in the world of engineering. Mainly used in submarines to regulate water flow, studying the behaviour of fluid flowing over a Riga plate is very advantageous. Although there are ample studies on fluid flowing over a Riga plate, the introduction of fractional derivatives, coupled with a non-Newtonian fluid, has yet to be done. Within the field of fluid mechanics, specifically boundary layer flow, fractional derivatives do not have a proven geometrical representation. However, analytical solutions would be useful in aiding experimental researches in the future. Thus, this study aims to present an analytical function for a Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative on an unsteady Casson fluid flowing over an accelerating ve rtical Riga plate by using the Laplace transform method. The parametric effects considered in this study is elucidated. Through observation of obtained graphical results generated via the obtained analytical solutions, it is found that amplification of the fractional parameter and modified Hartmann number increases the fluid velocity with an average increment of 42.05% and 1.56%, respectively. While amplification of the Casson parameter and Prandtl number dampens the fluid velocity by an average of 45.09% a nd 43.56%, respectively.
