On accelerated flow for mhd generalized burgers' fluid in a porous medium and rotating frame

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the exact steady-state solution of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and rotating flow of generalized Burgers' fluid induced by a variable accelerated plate. This is attained by using the Fourier sine transform technique. This result is then presented in the equivalent forms in terms of exponential, sine and cosine functions. Similar solutions for Burgers', Oldroyd - B, Maxwell, Second grade and Navier - Stokes fluids are shown to emerge as the limiting cases of the present exact solution. The graphical results illustrate the velocity profiles which have been determined for the flow due to the variable acceleration of an infinite flat plate. Moreover, these figures are plotted to show the effects of different parameters on velocity field.
