The flow of a non-Newtonian fluid induced due to the oscillations of a porous plate (Q2567573)

Summary: An analytic solution of the flow of a third-grade fluid on a porous plate is constructed. The porous plate executes oscillations in its own plane with superimposed injection or suction. An increasing or decreasing velocity amplitude of the oscillating porous plate is also examined. It is shown that in the case of third-grade fluid, a combination of suction/injection and decreasing/increasing velocity amplitude is possible as well. Several limiting situations with their implications are given and discussed.
