Energetic Balance for the Flow Induced by a Constantly Accelerating Plate in a Second Grade Fluid

On the energetic balance for the flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid induced by a constantly accelerating plate

Exact and approximate expressions are established for dissipation, the power of the shear stress at the wall and the boundary layer thickness corresponding to the motion of an Oldroyd-B fluid induced by a constantly accelerating plate. The similar expressions for Maxwell, Newtonian and second grade fluids, performing the same motion, are obtained as limiting cases of our general results. The sp...

A note on the flow induced by a constantly accelerating edge in an Oldroyd-B fluid

Analytical expressions for the velocity field and the tangential stresses that are induced due to a constantly accelerating edge in an Oldroyd-B fluid have been established for all values of material constants. The solutions that have been obtained satisfy the governing differential equations and all the imposed initial and boundary conditions. These solutions reduce to those for the Maxwell, s...

MHD Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate

In this study, effects of numerous physical quantities like dissipation, thermal radiation, and induced magnetic field on magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate is addressed. The non-dimensional multivariable governing equations are solved numerically by by means of Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The behavior of velocity, temperature and induced magnet...

Unsteady Falkner-skan Flow of a Second Grade Fluid

The non-similar solutions for the unsteady flow of a second grade fluid wereconstructed. The method of perturbation was used for the solution of the governing non-linear equation. The results of Rajagopal et al. (Int. J. Non-Linear Mechanics, 1983) can be obtained as a special case of the presented analysis.
