Abstract
The unsteady flow of an incompressible Oldroyd-B fluid with
fractional derivatives induced by a suddenly moved plate between
two side walls will be studied by means of Fourier sine and Laplace
transforms. The velocity field ,will be written in terms of the
generalized Ga,b,c functions, and presented as a sum between the
Newtonian solution and the corresponding non-Newtonian
contribution. The solutions corresponding to the generalized
Maxwell fluids with fractional derivatives as well as solutions for
ordinary Maxwell and Oldroyd-B fluids, performing the same
motion, will be obtained limiting cases of general solutions.
Rajagopal (1995) studied the exact solution for some simple flow
of Oldroyd-B fluid. He also study the longitudinal and torsional
oscillations of an infinitly long rod of finite radius. The solutions
are found in terms of Bessel functions.
Mompean and Deville (1997) studied the unsteady finite volume
simulation of Oldroyd-B fluid through a three-dimensional planar
contraction. The equations for viscoelastic flows of an Oldroyd-B
fluid are integrated using the finite volume technique. The
numerical algorithm was developed to treat three-dimensional (3D)
unsteady flows using Cartesian coordinates on a non-uniform
staggered grid. The primitive variables, velocities, pressure and
extra-stresses are used in the formulation. All inertia terms in the
momentum and constitutive equations are taken into account and
are discretized in space using a quadratic upwind scheme.
Hayat et.al (2001) conducted the studied on the exact solutions for
the following five problems of an Oldroyd-B fluid are obtained.
(i) Stokes problem
(ii) Modified Stokes problem
(iii) The time-periodic Poiseuille flow due to an oscillating pressure
gradient
(iv) The non- periodic flows between two boundaries, and
(v) Symmetric flow with an arbitrary initial velocity. Some
interesting flows caused by certain oscillations are also obtained.
Hayat et.al (2004) studied about the effects of an Oldroyd-B fluid
on the peristaltic mechanism are examined under the long
wavelength assumption. Analytical expressions for the stream
function, the axial velocity, and the pressure rise per wavelength are
obtained up to the second order in the dimensionless wave number.
Khan et.al (2006) studied about the exact solution for the
magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a generalized Oldroyd-B
fluid in a circular pipe. For the description of such a fluid, the
fractional calculus approach has been used throughout the analysis.
Based on modified Darcys law for generalized Oldroyd-B fluid, the
velocity field is calculated analytically.
Fetecau et.al (2007) studied the velocity field and the adequate
tangential stress that is induced by the flow due to a constantly
accelerating plate in an Oldroyd-B fluid, are determined by means
of Fourier sine transforms. The solutions corresponding to a
Maxwell, Second grade and NavierStokes fluid appear as limiting
cases of the solutions obtained. However, in marked contrast to
the solution for a NavierStokes fluid, in the case of an Oldroyd-B
fluid oscillations are set up which decay exponentially with time.
T = pI + S ;
S + (S LS SLT ) = [A + r (A
LA ALT )], (1)
where pI denotes the indeterminate spherical stress due to the
constraint of incompressibility, S is the extra-stress tensor, L is the
velocity gradient, A = L + LT is the first Rivlin-Ericksen tensor,
is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, and r are relaxation and
retardation times, the superposed dot indicates the material time
derivative and the superscript T denotes the transpose operation.
The model characterized by Eqs. (1) contains as special cases the
upper convected Maxwell model for = 0 and the Newtonian fluid
model for = r = 0.

The coupled partial differential equations (4) and (6), with suitable
initial and boundary conditions, can be solved in principle by
several methods, their efficiency depending on the definition
domain. The integral transforms technique represents a systematic,
efficient and powerful tool. The Laplace transform can be used to
eliminate the time variable while the finite Hankel transform can be
employed to eliminate the spatial variable.
