Abstract

An exact solution is obtained for the two-dimensional flow of an elastico-viscous (Walters fluid B’) incompressible fluid past an infinite porous wall under the following conditions: (i) the suction velocity normal to the plate oscillates in magnitude but not in direction about a non-zero mean; (ii) the free-stream velocity oscillates in time about a constant mean.

The response of the skin-friction to the fluctuating stream and suction velocity is studied for variations in the suction parameter A, the elasticity parameter k and the frequency parameter μ. It is found that the back-flow at the wall is enhanced by k. For the same value of A, the amplitude of the skin-friction decreases with increasing k. Also an increase in k and μ leads to a decrease in the phase of the skin-friction. For moderately large A and k, the phase of the skin-friction may be completely negative.
