Abstract

An incompressible third grade fluid occupies the porous space between two rigid infinite plates. The steady rotating flow of this fluid due to a suddenly moved lower plate with partial slip of the fluid on the plate is analysed. The fluid filling the porous space between the two plates is electrically conducting. The flow modeling is developed by employing a modified Darcy's law. A numerical solution of the governing problem consisting of a non-linear ordinary differential equation and non-linear boundary conditions is obtained and discussed. Several limiting cases of the arising problem can be obtained by choosing suitable parameters.
