    Abstract

    This paper deals with some unsteady flow problems of a second grade fluid. The flows are generated by the sudden application

    of a constant pressure gradient or by the impulsive motion of a boundary. The velocities of the flows are described by the

    partial differential equations. Exact analytic solutions of these differential equations are obtained. The well known solutions for a

    NavierStokes fluid in the hydrodynamic case appear as the limiting cases of our solutions.

    1. Introduction

    The inadequacy of the classical NavierStokes theory for describing rheological complex fluids has led to the

    development of several theories of non-Newtonian fluids. Rheological properties of materials are specified in general

    by their so-called constitutive equations. The mechanical behavior of many real fluids, especially those of low

    molecular weight, is well described by the NavierStokes theory. There are, however, many rheological complex

    fluids such as polymer solutions, soaps, blood, paints, shampoo, ketchup, certain oils and greases that are not well

    described by a Newtonian constitutive equation which do not show any relaxation and retardation phenomena.

    Among the many models that have been used to describe the non-Newtonian behavior exhibited by these fluids,

    the fluids of differential type [1]have received special attention. Here, we shall consider a model of second grade.

    For a second grade fluid, the equations of motion are of a higher order than the NavierStokes equations and thus, in

    general, one needs conditions in addition to the usual adherence boundary condition. For a detailed discussion of thisissue and for some interesting examples, we refer the reader to[24].

    In recent years, interest in the unsteady flow has increased considerably. Rajagopal [5] has studied exact solutions

    for a class of unsteady unidirectional flows of a second grade fluid under four different flow situations. Bandelli and

    Rajagopal [6] examined a number of unidirectional transient flows of a second grade fluid in a domain with one

    finite dimension. Bandelli [7] also studied the heat transfer analysis on some unsteady flows of a second grade fluid.

    Bandelli et al. [8]also addressed the Rayleigh problem in a second grade fluid. Puri [9] has analyzed the impulsive

    motion of a flat plate in a RivlinEricksen fluid. Unsteady flows of a second order fluid in a bounded region have

    been discussed by Ting [10]. Hayat et al.[1115] discussed periodic and transient flows of a second grade fluid with

    different geometrical configurations. Erdogan [16]addressed the problem of unsteady flow of a viscous fluid on an

    oscillating plate. In cylindrical regions, the unsteady flows of a viscous fluid have been discussed by Batchelor [ 17],

    Muller[18], Nanda [19] and Szmansky [20]. In[21], Erdogan discussed the viscous flows produced by the sudden

    application of a constant pressure gradient or by the impulsive motion of a boundary. In another paper, Erdogan [ 22]

    considered three types of unsteady flows, namely flow due to the impulsive motion of a flat plate, flow induced by a

    constantly accelerating plate, and flow produced by a flat plate that applies a constant tangential stress to the fluid.

    Moreover, Erdogan [23]examined five unsteady flows of a viscous fluid in a cylindrical regions.The present paper is concerned with some unsteady flows of a second grade fluid in cylindrical polar coordinates.

    The extensive study of such flows is motivated by both their fundamental interest and their practical importance [6].

    The arrangement of the paper is as follows. InSection 2,we determine the flow equations.Section 3contains the exact

    solutions corresponding to the unsteady flow in a circular cylinder. Some solutions for starting flow in a circular pipe,

    generalized starting flow in a circular pipe, and unsteady flow in a rotating cylinder are presented in Sections 46,

    respectively. Finally, inSection 7,we give concluding remarks.

    2. Constitutive equations

    The constitutive equation for the fluids of second grade is in the following form [5,1114]:

    T = pI + A1 + 1A2 + 2A21, (1)

    in whichTis the Cauchy stress tensor,pIdenotes the indeterminate spherical stress,is the coefficient of viscosity,

    1and 2are normal stress moduli, and A1and A2are the kinematic tensors defined through

    A1 = (grad V)+ (grad V)T , (2)

    A2 =dA1

    dt+A1(grad V)+ (grad V)

    T A1. (3)

    In the above equations, V is the velocity, grad the gradient operator, and d/dtdenotes the material time derivative.Since the fluid is incompressible, it can undergo only isochoric motion and hence

    div V = 0, (4)

    and the equation of motion is

    dV

    dt= div T + B, (5)

    where is the density of the fluid and B is the body force. In our analysis, we shall consider the model represented

    by Eq.(1)as an exact model. For some comments regarding this problem, we refer the reader to [1]. If this model is

    required to be compatible with thermodynamics, then the material moduli must meet the following restrictions [24]:

    0, 1 0, 1 + 2 = 0. (6)

    In the next sections, we discuss the four unsteady flows of a second grade fluid through two methods followed by

    Erdogan [21,23]. The solutions for small and large times are obtained. The Laplace transform technique is particularly

    well suited for small time solutions. However, it is not a trivial matter to invert the Laplace transform. Bandelli

    et al. [8] have already shown that the Laplace transform treatment does not work for the Rayleigh problem (the

    obtained solution does not satisfy the initial condition). They showed that this is due to an incompatibility between

    the prescribed data. A comprehensive discussion on the issue has been given in great length by Bandelli [25].

    3. Starting flow in a circular cylinder moving parallel to its length

    Suppose that the second grade fluid is in a circular cylinder and is initially at rest, and the fluid starts suddenly due

    to the motion of the cylinder parallel to its length. The axis of the cylinder is chosen as the z -axis. Using cylindrical

    The required time to attain the asymptotic value of the skin friction is about = 0.6. It will be seen later that the

    expressions given in Eqs.(11)(13)obtained for large values of time can also be used for small values of time.

    Small time solutions

    For small time, the Laplace transform method is used. If the Laplace transform ofw is w, then Eqs.(7) and (8)

    take the following form:

    w +1

    rw q2w = 0, (14)

    w (a, s) =W

    s, (15)

    where

    q = N+ s

    + s1/2

    and primes denote the differentiation with respect to r.The solution of Eq.(14)satisfying condition(15)is

    w

    W=

    I0(qr)

    s I0(qa). (16)

    Laplace inverse of the above equation yields

    w

    W=

    +ii

    I0(qr) est

    s I0(qa)ds. (17)

    In Eq.(17),s = 0 is a simple pole. Therefore, the residue at s = 0 is

    Res (0) =I0(mr)

    I0(ma ).

    The other singular points of Eq.(17)are the zeros of

    I0(qa) = 0.

    Settingq = i, we find that

    J0(a) = 0. (18)

    Ifn ,n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , are the zeros of Eq.(18),then

    sn= N+ 2n

    wheren = 1, 2, 3, . . . , are the poles. These are the simple poles and the residue at all these poles can be obtained

    It is worthwhile to see how convergent the series solutions are in the present analysis. We use numerical

    investigation of the rate of convergence of the series solutions presented. Let us first consider the series solutions

    in Eqs.(11)and(19).It may be noted that both series solutions are the same in non-dimensional form. In the present

    analysis, we have taken 50 terms of the series in Section 3and found that the relative error compared to the value

    obtained by taking five terms is about 0.01%. The value of the series is 0.15601 from the 5th term to the 50th term.

    Similarly, it is noted that five terms of the series are sufficient for the problems discussed in Sections 4and 6.For

    the second problem (inSection 4), the value of the series is 0.02335, which is valid from the 5th to the 50th terms,

    whereas this value is 0.30704 for the problem considered inSection 6.Note that, in the numerical investigations of

    the series ofSections 3and4,the values of = 0.005, M= 0.5,= 0.1 and= 0 have been taken into account,

    while forSection 6these values are = 0.005, M= 0.5,= 0.1 and= 0.5.

    7. Concluding remarks

    In this paper, four types of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flows of second grade fluids are presented, namely

    unsteady flow in a circular cylinder moving parallel to its length, unsteady flow in a circular pipe, generalized

    unsteady flow in a circular pipe, and unsteady flow in a rotating circular cylinder. The expressions for velocity profile,

    volume flux, and frictional force in each case are constructed. These solutions have been established using the Laplace

    transform method. It is found that the steady solution for a second grade fluid is identical to that of a NavierStokes

    fluid. From the governing equations, we deduce that the effect of the viscoelastic parameter on the flow profile appears

    in the unsteady state only. From the (Figs. 16), it can be seen that slight oscillations occur in the flow for very small

    time. This indicates that, in the beginning, the flow is slightly unstable and, after some time, fluid viscosity takeover and stabilizes it. It is further observed that magnetic effects arise in both steady and unsteady solutions. When1 = 0 the solutions reduce to a magnetohydrodynamic NavierStokes fluid, and when 1 = 0 = N these reduce

    to a classical hydrodynamic NavierStokes fluid. It is further interesting to note that, as the viscoelastic parameter

    increases, the value of velocity (in each case) at the same distance r decreases. That is, increasing the viscoelastic

    coefficient has the effect of increasing the boundary layer thickness. The results of Erdogan [23] for a NavierStokes

    fluid can be recovered easily when N, 1 0.
