Abstract

In this paper, we consider the unsteady flow of an incompressible second grade fluid in a circular duct with a given volume flow rate variation. The effects of Hall current are taken into account. The governing equations are solved analytically using Laplace transform method. The velocity profiles are constructed for the four cases: (a) constant accelerated flow (b) sudden started flow (c) the flow rate has a trapezoidal variation with time (d) starting from rest the volume flow rate oscillates sinusoidally. The present analysis is more general than any previous investigation.
