Unsteady motions of Oldroyd-B fluids between two parallel walls perpendicular to a plate that applies two types of shears to the fluid are studied using integral transforms. Exact solutions are obtained both for velocity and non-trivial shear stresses. They are presented in simple forms as sums of steady-state and transient solutions and can easily be particularized to give the similar solutions for Maxwell, second-grade and Newtonian fluids. Known solutions for the motion over an infinite plate, applying the same shears to the fluid, are recovered as limiting cases of general solutions. Finally, the influence of side walls on the fluid motion, the distance between walls for which their presence can be neglected, and the required time to reach the steady-state are graphically determined.

In this paper, some time-dependent flows of a non-Newtonian fluid between two side walls over a plane wall are investigated. The following three problems have been studied: (i) flow due to an oscillating plate, (ii) flow due to an accelerating plate, and (iii) flow due to applied constant stress. The explicit expressions for the velocity field are determined by using the integral transforms. The solutions that have been obtained, depending on the initial and boundary conditions, are written as sum of the steady state and transient solutions. The similar solutions for second-grade and Newtonian fluids can be deduced as limiting cases of our solutions. Furthermore, in absence of the side walls they reduce to the similar solutions over an infinite plate. The effects of some important parameters due to side walls on the flow field are investigated.

AbstractThe velocity field corresponding to the unsteady motion of a viscous fluid between two side walls perpendicular to a plate is determined by means of the Fourier transforms. The motion of the fluid is produced by the plate which after the time t = 0, applies an oscillating shear stress to the fluid. The solutions that have been obtained, presented as a sum of the steady-state and transient solutions satisfy the governing equation and all imposed initial and boundary conditions. In the absence of the side walls they are reduced to the similar solutions corresponding to the motion over an infinite plate. Finally, the influence of the side walls on the fluid motion, the required time to reach the steady-state, as well as the distance between the walls for which the velocity of the fluid in the middle of the channel is unaffected by their presence, are established by means of graphical illustrations.

The velocity field and the adequate shear stress corresponding to the first problem of Stokes for generalized Burgers’ fluids are determined in simple forms by means of integral transforms. The solutions that have been obtained, presented as a sum of steady and transient solutions, satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. They can be easily reduced to the similar solutions for Burgers, Oldroyd-B, Maxwell, and second-grade and Newtonian fluids. Furthermore, as a check of our calculi, for small values of the corresponding material parameters, their diagrams are almost identical to those corresponding to the known solutions for Newtonian and Oldroyd-B fluids. Finally, the influence of the rheological parameters on the fluid motions, as well as a comparison between models, is graphically illustrated. The non-Newtonian effects disappear in time, and the required time to reach steady-state is the lowest for Newtonian fluids.

This paper presents some new exact solutions corresponding to the oscillating flows of a MHD Oldroyd-B fluid with fractional derivatives. The fractional calculus approach in the governing equations is used. The exact solutions for the oscillating motions of a fractional MHD Oldroyd-B fluid due to sine and cosine oscillations of an infinite plate are established with the help of discrete Laplace transform. The expressions for velocity field and the associated shear stress that have been obtained, presented in series form in terms of Fox H functions, satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. Similar solutions for ordinary MHD Oldroyd-B, fractional and ordinary MHD Maxwell, fractional and ordinary MHD Second grade and MHD Newtonian fluid as well as those for hydrodynamic fluids are obtained as special cases of general solutions. Finally, the obtained solutions are graphically analyzed through various parameters of interest.

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.

In this paper, exact solutions of velocity and stresses are obtained for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Maxwell fluid in a porous half space by the Laplace transform method. The flows are caused by the cosine and sine oscillations of a plate. The derived steady and transient solutions satisfy the involved differential equations and the given conditions. Graphs for steady-state and transient velocities are plotted and discussed. It is found that for a large value of the time t, the transient solutions disappear, and the motion is described by the corresponding steady-state solutions.

AbstractExact analytic solutions for the motion of second grade fluid between two infinite coaxial cylinders are established. The motion is produced by the inner cylinder that at time t = 0+ applies torsional and longitudinal oscillating shear stresses to the fluid. The exact analytic solutions, obtained with the help of Laplace and finite Hankel transforms, and presented as a sum of the steady-state and transient solutions, satisfy both the governing equations and all associate initial and boundary conditions. In the special case when a1 to 0 they reduce to those for a Newtonian fluid. Finally, the effect of various parameters of interest on transient parts of velocity components, velocity profiles as well as comparison between second grade and Newtonian fluids is discussed through graphical illustration.

General solutions corresponding to the unsteady motion of second-grade fluids induced by an infinite plate that applies a shear stress ƒ (t) to the fluid are established. These solutions can immediately be reduced to the similar solutions for Newtonian fluids. They can be used to obtain known solutions from the literature or any other solution of this type by specifying the function ƒ (.). Furthermore, in view of a simple remark, general solutions for the flow due to a moving plate can be developed.

Two unsteady motions of incompressible Maxwell fluids between infinite horizontal parallel plates embedded in a porous medium are analytically studied to get exact solutions using the finite Fourier cosine transform. The motion is induced by the lower plate that applies time-dependent shear stresses to the fluid. The solutions that have been obtained satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. They can be easily reduced as limiting cases to known solutions for the incompressible Newtonian fluids. For a check of their correctness, the steady-state solutions are presented in different forms whose equivalence is graphically proved. The effects of physical parameters on the fluid motion are graphically emphasized and discussed. Required time to reach the steady-state is also determined. It is found that the steady-state is rather obtained for Newtonian fluids as compared with Maxwell fluids. Furthermore, the effect of the side walls on the fluid motion is more effective in the case of Newtonian fluids.

AbstractIn this paper exact solutions corresponding to the rotational flow of a fractional Oldroyd-B fluid, in an annulus, are determined by applying integral transforms. The fluid starts moving aftert= 0+when pipes start rotating about their axis. The final solutions are presented in the form of usual Bessel and hypergeometric functions, true for initial and boundary conditions. The limiting cases for the solutions for ordinary Oldroyd-B, fractional Maxwell and Maxwell and Newtonian fluids are obtained. Moreover, the solution is obtained for the fluid when one pipe is rotating and the other one is at rest. At the end of this paper some characteristics of fluid motion, the effect of the physical parameters on the flow and a correlation between different fluid models are discussed. Finally, graphical representations confirm the above affirmation.
