Abstract:

In this paper, some steady and unsteady solutions of D’Alembert motions for couple stress fluids have been abtained, by assuming that the stream function is a product of a function of space coordinate and a function of time.These exact solutions are helpful to understand the flow properties of couple stress fluids and can be served as accuracy checks for experimental, numerical and asymptotic methods.

Key words: couple stress fluid; D’Alembert motions; inverse method; non-Newtonian fluid
