Abstract

A study is made of the steady radial-axial flow generated in a non-Newtonian fluid confined between two infinite parallel planes by torsional oscillations of one of the planes. Canonical equations of motion appropriate for the small amplitude motion of a simple fluid are used. It is shown that under certain circumstances the direction of the radial-axial flow is opposite to that in a Newtonian fluid.
