STRATIFIED VISCO-ELASTIC FLUID FLOW PAST A FLAT SURFACE WITH ENERGY DISSIPATION: AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH
An unsteady visco-elastic fluid flow past a solid surface has been considered in presence of density, elastic, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity stratifications. Heat is generated within the system by energy dissipation due to viscosity. In the constitutive equation, we have used Walters liquid model for short relaxation memories. Governing equations of motion are solved analytically using separation of variable technique. Results are discussed graphically and numerically for various values of flow parameters involved in the solution.
