Unsteady stagnation-point flow of a viscoelastic fluid in the presence of a magnetic field (Q1008550)

Summary: The unsteady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of the Walters B' fluid impinging on an infinite plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is examined and solutions are obtained. It is assumed that the infinite plate at \(y=0\) performs harmonic oscillations in its own plane. A finite difference technique is employed, and solutions for small and large frequencies of the oscillations are obtained for various values of the Hartmann number and Weissenberg number.
