Abstract

This paper presents an analysis for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible generalized Oldroyd-B fluid inducing by an accelerating plate. Where the no-slip assumption between the wall and the fluid is no longer valid. The fractional calculus approach is introduced to establish the constitutive relationship of a viscoelastic fluid. Closed form solutions for velocity and shear stress are obtained in terms of Fox H-function by using the discrete Laplace transform of the sequential fractional derivatives. The solutions for no-slip condition and no magnetic field can be derived as the special cases. Furthermore, the effects of various parameters on the corresponding flow and shear stress characteristics are analyzed and discussed in detail.
