Oscillatory Couette flow of rotating Sisko fluid

doi:10.1007/s10483-014-1865-9

Abstract

Abstract: The oscillatory Couette flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Sisko fluid between two infinite non-conducting parallel plates is explored in a rotating frame. The lower plate is fixed, and the upper plate is oscillating in its own plane. Using MATLAB, a numerical solution to the resulting nonlinear system is presented. The influence of the physical parameters on the velocity components is analyzed. It is found that the effect of rotation on the primary velocity is more significant than that on the secondary velocity. Further, the oscillatory character in the flow is also induced by rotation. The considered flow situation behaves inertialess when the Reynolds number is small.

Key words: Couette flow, numerical solution, oscillatory flow, Sisko fluid
