摘要: In the present investigation the time dependent flow of an Oldroyd fluid B in ahorizontal eylindrical pipe is stuided by the variational analytical approach developed by author. The tome dependent problem is mathematically reduced to a partial differential equation of third order. Using the improved variational approach due to Kantorovich the partial differential equation can be reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations for different approximations. The ordinary differential equations are solved by the method of the Laplace transform which is led to an analytical formof the solutions.
