In this brief note, we show that the unsteady flow of a generalized second grade fluid due to a constant couple, as well as the similar flow of Newtonian and ordinary second grade fluids, ultimately becomes steady. For this, a new form of the exact solution for velocity is established. This solution is presented as a sum of the steady and transient components. The required time to reach the steady-state is obtained by graphical illustrations.

An exact solution of an incompressible second-grade fluid for flow between two coaxial porous cylinders is given. The velocity profiles for various values of the cross-Reynolds number and the elastic number are plotted. It is found that for large values of the cross-Reynolds number, the velocity variation near boundaries shows a different behaviour than that of the Newtonian fluid.

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and rotating flow of second-grade fluid over a suddenly moved flat plate is investigated, where the second-grade fluid saturates the porous medium. The new exact solution is derived by using the Fourier sine and Laplace transforms. Many interesting available results in the literature are obtained as limiting cases of our solution. Finally, some graphical results are presented for different values of the material constants.
