Abstract

Exact expressions for dimensionless velocity and shear stress fields corresponding to two unsteady motions of incompressible upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluids through a plate channel are analytically established. The porous effects are taken into consideration. The fluid motion is generated by one of the plates which is moving in its plane and the obtained solutions satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The starting solutions corresponding to the oscillatory motion are presented as sum of their steady-state and transient components. They can be useful for those who want to eliminate the transients from their experiments. For a check of the obtained results, their steady-state components are presented in different forms whose equivalence is graphically illustrated. Analytical solutions for the incompressible Newtonian fluids performing the same motions are recovered as limiting cases of the presented results. The influence of physical parameters on the fluid motion is graphically shown and discussed. It is found that the Maxwell fluids flow slower as compared to Newtonian fluids. The required time to reach the steady-state is also presented. It is found that the presence of porous medium delays the appearance of the steady-state.
