On the MHD flow of fractional generalized Burgers' fluid with modified Darcy's law

This work is concerned with applying the fractional calculus approach to the magnetohydrodynamic （MHD） pipe flow of a fractional generalized Burgers＇ fluid in a porous space by using modified Darcy＇s relationship. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of a constant applied magnetic field in the transverse direction. Exact solution for the velocity distribution is developed with the help of Fourier transform for fractional calculus. The solutions for a Navier-Stokes, second grade, Maxwell, Oldroyd-B and Burgers＇ fluids appear as the limiting cases of the present analysis.

Exact solution for the rotational flow of a generalized second grade fluid in a circular cylinder

This paper deals with the rotational flow of a generalized second grade fluid, within a circular cylinder, due to a torsional shear stress. The fractional calculus approach in the constitutive relationship model of a second grade fluid is introduced. The velocity field and the resulting shear stress are determined by means of the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms to satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The solutions corresponding to second grade fluids as well as those for Newtonian fluids are obtained as limiting cases of our general solutions. The influence of the fractional coefficient on the velocity of the fluid is also analyzed by graphical illustrations.

An exact solution of unsteady Couette flow of generalized second grade fluid

The fractional calculus approach is introduced into the rheological constitutive model of a generalized second grade fluid. A constitutive model with fractional derivative is developed for the generalized second grade fluid. Unsteady Couette flow of the generalized second grade fluid is studied by using the method of the discrete inverse Laplace transform and generalized Mittag-Leffler function. And then an exact solution is obtained for this problem with arbitrary fractional derivative. This provides a new analytical tool for the study of viscoelastic fluid mechanics.

Exact solutions for unsteady unidirectional flows of a generalized second-order fluid through a rectangular conduit

The exact solutions are obtained for unsteady unidirectional flows of a generalized second-order fluid through a rectangular conduit. The fractional calculus in the constitutive relationship of a non-Newtonian fluid is introduced. We construct the solutions by means of Fourier transform and the discrete Laplace transform of the sequential derivatives and the double finite Fourier transform. The solutions for Newtonian fluid between two infinite parallel plates appear as limiting cases of our solutions.

Stokes'first problem for a viscoelastic fluid with the generalized Oldroyd-B model

The flow near a wall suddenly set in motion for a viscoelastic fluid with the generalized Oldroyd-B model is studied. The fractional calculus approach is used in the constitutive relationship of fluid model. Exact analytical solutions of velocity and stress are obtained by using the discrete Laplace transform of the sequential fractional derivative and the Fox H-function. The obtained results indicate that some well known solutions for the Newtonian fluid, the generalized second grade fluid as well as the ordinary Oldroyd-B fluid, as limiting cases, are included in our solutions.

Exact solutions for the flow of non-Newtonian fluid with fractional derivative in an annular pipe

This paper deals with some unsteady unidirectional transient flows of Oldroyd-B fluid in an annular pipe. The fractional calculus approach in the constitutive relationship model Oldroyd-B fluid is introduced and a generalized Jeffreys model with the fractional calculus has been built. Exact solutions of some unsteady flows of Oldroyd-B fluid in an annular pipe are obtained by using Hankel transform and Laplace transform for fractional calculus. The following four problems have been studied: (1) Poiseuille flow due to a constant pressure gradient; (2) axial Couette flow in an annulus; (3) axial Couette flow in an annulus due to a longitudinal constant shear; (4) Poiseuille flow due to a constant pressure gradient and a longitudinal constant shear. The well-known solutions for Navier-Stokes fluid, as well as those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid and a second grade one, appear as limited cases of our solutions.
