Abstract

The prime aim and essence of this study are to present a closed-form solution of the unidirectional velocity field for thin film flow generated by a third-grade liquid moving over a fixed or movable inclined plane in the presence of partial slip boundary condition. Consideration of partial slip makes this problem different from other published research works. Here lies the novelty of this study. The nondimensional, unidirectional velocity profiles rely on the material parameter of third-grade fluid, slip parameter and initial velocity of the movable plane. Study discloses that the fluid’s velocity decelerates with raising the material property of grade-3 fluid and it accelerates with the slip parameter and initial velocity of the inclined plane. The outcomes of this study are deliberated physically at length.
