Steady Motion of a Second-Order Fluid past a Circular Cylinder and between Two Coaxial Circular Cylinders with Suction and Injection

抄録

The present paper presents a study of the steady motion of a fluid, whose rheological behaviour is governed by the equation (2.1) when it flows in the first instance past a porous circular cylinder with suction on its walls and secondary through the annulus between two coaxial right circular cylinders with suction and injection. The case of a flat plate with suction is derived from the first case. In the second case it is assumed that the rate of fluid injection at one of the surfaces is the same as that of withdrawal at the other, and the inner surface is moving with a constant velocity parallel to itself.
The effects of the elastico-viscosity and cross-viscosity of the fluid on the axial speed, skin-friction and boundary layer-thickness etc. have been discussed.
