Abstract

This study presents the boundary layer flow of a second grade fluid in a rotating reference frame. The model equations are solved numerically using the bivariate spectral quasi-linearization method to obtain the fluid properties. We investigate the effects of measurable quantities such as the rate of rotation, thermal diffusivity, energy dissipation, viscoelastic parameter and other material properties of the fluid on the flow. The results show that slow rotation leads to a quick decline in the thicknesses of the momentum, thermal and concentration boundary layers. There is also a region of reverse flow for fluids with high Prandtl number.
