Abstract
In continuation of an earlier investigation, the present paper discusses the stress distribution in the inertialess flow of a viscoelastic fluid confined between two plane parallel walls, in which the upper wall moves with a constant velocity while the lower is held at rest with a uniform constant suction applied on its surface. However, the stress field is discussed in detail for the case when the upper wall is also held at rest and the effects arising due to application of suction are pointed out. The most important difference in the behaviour of viscoelastic fluid, compared with that ofNewtonian fluid, lies in the fact that the gradient of the normal stress component in the horizontal direction depends on the distance from the walls.
