Dynamics of unsteady fluid-flow caused by a sinusoidally varying pressure gradient through a capillary tube with Caputo-Fabrizio derivative

Abstract

This paper presents a study of the unsteady flow of second grade fluid through a capillary tube, caused by sinusoidally varying pressure gradient, with fractional derivative model. The fractional derivative is taken in Caputo-Fabrizio sense. The analytical solution for the velocity profile has been obtained for non-homogenous boundary conditions by employing the Laplace transform and the finite Hankel transform. The influence of order of Caputo-Fabrizio time-fractional derivative and time parameter on fluid motion is discussed graphically.
