Abstract

The unsteady unidirectional flow of an incompressible fourth grade fluid over an infinite porous plate is studied. The flow is induced due to the motion of the plate in its own plane with an arbitrary velocity. Symmetry reductions are performed to transform the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The reduced equations are then solved analytically and numerically. The influence of various physical parameters of interest on the velocity profile are shown and discussed through several graphs. A comparison of the present analysis shows excellent agreement between analytical and numerical solutions.
