The velocity field and the adequate shear stress corresponding to the rotational flow of a fractional Maxwell fluid, between two infinite coaxial circular cylinders, are determined by applying the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. The solutions that have been obtained are presented in terms of generalized Ga,b,c(·,t) and Ra,b(·,t) functions. Moreover, these solutions satisfy both the governing differential equations and all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The corresponding solutions for ordinary Maxwell and Newtonian fluids are obtained as limiting cases of our general solutions. Finally, the influence of the material parameters on the velocity and shear stress of the fluid is analyzed by graphical illustrations.

AbstractThis paper presents an analysis of unsteady flow of incompressible fractional Maxwell fluid filled in the annular region between two infinite coaxial circular cylinders. The fluid motion is created by the inner cylinder that applies a longitudinal time-dependent shear stress and the outer cylinder that is moving at a constant velocity. The velocity field and shear stress are determined using the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. Obtained solutions are presented in terms of the generalized G and R functions. We also obtain the solutions for ordinary Maxwell fluid and Newtonian fluid as special cases of generalized solutions. The influence of different parameters on the velocity field and shear stress are also presented using graphical illustration. Finally, a comparison is drawn between motions of fractional Maxwell fluid, ordinary Maxwell fluid and Newtonian fluid.

In this paper, based on the fractional model, we present an investigation on the couette flow of a generalized Oldroyd-B fluid within an infinite cylinder subject to a time-dependent shear stress which is affected by the internal constantly decelerated pressure gradient. By using the fractional derivatives Laplace and finite Hankel transforms, the obtained solutions for the velocity field and shear stress, written in terms of generalized R function, are presented the similar characteristics with Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Moreover, the effects of various parameters are systematically analyzed.

AbstractThe flow of an incompressible fractionalized Maxwell fluid induced by an oscillating plate has been studied, where the no-slip assumption between the wall and the fluid is no longer valid. The solutions obtained for the velocity field and the associated shear stress, written in terms of H-functions, using discrete Laplace transform, satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The no-slip contributions, that appeared in the general solutions, as expected, tend to zero when slip parameter

Some exact solutions corresponding to helical flows of Maxwell fluid between two infinite coaxial circular cylinders are determined by means of finite Hankel transform, presented in series form, satisfied all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The motion is produced by the inner cylinder that applies the torsional and longitudinal time-dependent accelerated shear stresses to the fluid. The corresponding solutions for Newtonian fluid and large-time solutions are also obtained as limiting cases and effect of material parameters on the large-time solutions are discussed. Finally, the influence of pertinent parameters as well as a comparison between Maxwell and Newtonian fluids on the velocity components and shear stresses profiles is also examined by graphical illustrations.

Taylor-Couette flow in an annulus due to a time-dependent torque suddenly applied to one of the cylinders is studied by means of finite Hankel transforms. The exact solutions, presented under series form in terms of usual Bessel functions, satisfy both the governing equations and all imposed initial and boundary conditions. They can easily be reduced to give similar solutions for Maxwell, second grade, and Newtonian fluids performing the same motion. Finally, some characteristics of the motion, as well as the influence of the material parameters on the behaviour of the fluid, are emphasized by graphical illustrations.

Eringen’s nonlocal differential model has been widely used in the literature to predict the size effect in nanostructures. However, this model often gives rise to paradoxes, such as the cantilever beam under end-point loading. Recent studies of the nonlocal integral models based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory overcome the aforementioned inconsistency. In this paper, we carry out an analytical study of the bending problem based on Eringen’s two-phase nonlocal model and Timoshenko beam theory, which accounts for a better representation of the bending behavior of short, stubby nanobeams where the nonlocal effect and transverse shear deformation are significant. The governing equations are established by the principal of virtual work, which turns out to be a system of integro-differential equations. With the help of a reduction method, the complicated system is reduced to a system of differential equations with mixed boundary conditions. After some detailed calculations, exact analytical solutions are obtained explicitly for four types of boundary conditions. Asymptotic analysis of the exact solutions reveals clearly that the nonlocal parameter has the effect of increasing the deflections. In addition, as compared with nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam, the shear effect is evident, and an additional scale effect is captured, indicating the importance of applying higher-order beam theories in the analysis of nanostructures.

This paper presented an analysis for the couette flow of a generalized Oldroyd-B fluid within an infinite cylinder subject to a time-dependent shear stress with the influence of the internal constantly decelerated pressure gradient. The exact solutions are established by means of the combine of the sequential fractional derivatives Laplace transform and finite Hankel transform and presented by integral and series form in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. Moreover, the effects of various parameters are analyzed in detail by graphical illustrations.

The objective of this article is to investigate the effect of twice order slip on the MHD flow of fractionalized Maxwell fluid through a permeable medium produced by oscillatory movement of an infinite bottom plate. The governing equations are developed by fractional calculus approach. The exact analytical results for velocity field and related shear stress are calculated using Laplace transforms and presented in terms of generalized M-function satisfying all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The flow results for fractionalized Maxwell, traditional Maxwell and Newtonian fluid with and without slips, in the presence and absence of magnetic and porous effects are derived as the limiting cases. The impact of fractional parameter, slip coefficients, magnetic force and porosity parameter over the velocity field and shear stress are discussed and analyzed through graphical illustrations. The outcomes demonstrate that the speed comparing to streams with slip condition is lower than that for stream with non-slip conditions, and the speed with second-slip condition is lower than that with first-order slip condition.
