Abstract

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. Copyright (c) 2007 M. E.
