Dynamics Of Viscoelastic Fluid Motion Over Expanding And Contracting Surfaces

Abstract

In the present article an analysis is carried out to study two dimensional flow of a viscoelastic fluid (Walter’s liquid B) induced by a shrinking / stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations are first reduced to ordinary nonlinear differential equations by using the appropriate similarity transformation. An exponential solution is assumed to solve the considered boundary value problem. The effects of governing pertinent physical parameters on the flow characteristics are presented graphically and discussed.
