Abstract:
In this dissertation, we present the analytical studies of some
uid
ow models. We analyze the
fractional models for the
ow of non-Newtonian
uids via classical computational techniques to
obtain analytical solutions.
This study includes the investigation of the unsteady natural convection
ow of Maxwell
uid
with fractional derivative over an exponentially accelerated in nite vertical plate. Slip condition,
chemical reaction, transverse magnetic eld and Newtonian heating e ects are also considered using
a modern de nition of fractional derivative. Moreover, the unsteady
ow of Maxwell
uid with noninteger
order derivatives through a circular cylinder of in nite length in a rotating frame is studied.
The motion of Maxwell
uid is generated by a time dependent torsion applied to the surface of the
cylinder. As novelty, the dimensionless governing equation related to the non-trivial shear stress
is used and the rst exact solution analogous to a ramped shear stress on the surface is obtained.
The rotational
ow of an Oldroyd-B
uid with fractional derivative induced by an in nite circular
cylinder that applies a constant couple stress to the
uid is investigated. It is worth mentioning that
the considered problem of Oldroyd-B
uid in the settings of fractional derivatives has not been found
in the literature. Some unsteady Couette
ows of an Oldroyd-B
uid with non-integer derivative in
an annular region of two in nite co-axial circular cylinders are investigated. Flows are due to the
motion of the outer cylinder, that rotates about its axis with an arbitrary time dependent velocity
while the inner cylinder is held xed. Finally, the analysis of the second grade
uid with fractional
derivative is made. The
uid lls the annulus region between two coaxial cylinders in which one
cylinder is at rest while the other experiences time dependent shear stress.
In all the
ow models, we obtained the exact or semi analytical solutions for the motions with
technical relevance. These solutions correspond to some
ows in which either velocity or the shear
stress is given on the boundary are established for di erent kinds of rate and di erential type
uids. The obtained solutions presented in all the
uid
ow models satisfy the imposed initial
and boundary conditions. Further, the
ow properties and comparison of models with respect to
derivative (fractional or ordinary) are highlighted by graphical illustrations.
