摘要
The unsteady flow of a Maxwell fluid induced by a constantly accelerating plate between two side walls perpendicular to the plate is studied. Exact solutions for the velocity field are established by means of the Fourier sine transforms. The adequate tangential stresses are also determined. The similar solutions for a Newtonian fluid are obtained as limiting cases of our solutions. In the absence of the side walls, the similar solutions for the unsteady flow over an infinite flat plate are recovered. Finally, for comparison, the velocity field in the middle of the channel and the shear stresses at the bottom wall and on the side walls are plotted for different values of the material constants.
