Abstract
This paper aims to study the unsteady Hele-Shaw flow of conducting Rivlin-Ericksen fluid under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The study has been carried out when the pressure gradient is (i) proportional to e/sup int/, (ii) zero for t < 0 and equal to a constant for t >= 0, and (iii) proportional to e/sup -nt/. It is interesting to note that the time for the motion to become steady when started from rest(case ii) is of the order ~ 4 s/sup 2/ / where s is the viscoelastic parameter. The rheological equation of the Rivlin-Ericksen fluid is described in section 2. The expressions for velocity components u and v of the fluid in x and y directions are derived in section 3. The effects of magnetic field and viscoelasticity are discussed in section 4.
