Study of velocity and shear stress for unsteady flow of incompressible Oldroyd-B fluid between two concentric rotating circular cylinders

Abstract

This investigation deals with the study of unsteady flow of incompressible Oldroyd-B fluid between two rotating circular cylinders, both cylinders are rotating around their common axis $(r=0)$. The governing differential equations are formulated with appropriate boundary conditions and then solved by means of Laplace and Hankel transforms to obtain velocity and shear stress for unsteady flow of Oldroyd-B fluid between two infinite concentric rotating circular cylinders. The obtained solutions can easily be reduced to equivalent solutions for Maxwell and classical Newtonian fluids. Finally, the influence of different physical parameters on the fluid velocity and shear stress is graphically underlined and discussed.
