Shear Flow of an Elastico Viscous Compressible Fluid Past: A Porous Flat Plate

Abstract

Shear flow of an elastico-viscous compressible liquid past a porous flat plate has been studied and a perturbed solution has been obtained, assuming the elastic number to be small. The variations in the axial velocity have been investigated through graphs. The skin friction and the rate of heat transfer at the plate are found to be not affected by the elasticity of the liquid. The displacement thickness and the normal stress difference have also been studied.
