The problem considered in this paper deal with the transient behavior of heat transfer by natural convection flow of fluid along an infinite vertical heated wavy surface. The governing equations are transformed into dimensionless form and solutions are obtained for the two dimensional flow for both pure ( α =0) and uneven surface ( α  ≠ 0). For pure vertical surface boundary layer equations are solved in the (i) upstream (small  τ ) (ii) downstream (large  τ ) and (iii) entire (0&lt; τ&lt;∞ ) regimes using analytical and numerical techniques. A very good agreement is found when results of above mentioned regimes are compared. Further, for wavy surface solutions are obtained for the entire time regime and results are discussed in terms of average Nusselt number coefficient and isotherms. Numerical results are served to reveal the influence of the physical parameters such as the Prandtl number, Pr, and wavy geometry,  α , for the surface conditions.
