Unsteady flow of fractional Burgers’ fluid in a rotating annulus region with power law kernel

Abstract

Keeping in view of the complex fluid mechanics in bio-medicine and engineering, the Burgers’ fluid with a fractional derivatives model analyzed through a rotating annulus. The governing partial differential equation solved for velocity field and shear stress by using integral transformation method and using Bessel equations. The transformed equation inverted numerically by using Gaver-Stehfest’s algorithm. The approximate analytical solution for rotational velocity, and shear stress are presented. The influence of various parameters like fractional parameters, relaxation and retardation time parameters material constants, time and viscosity parameters are drawn numerically. It is found that the relaxation time and time helps the flow pattern, on the other hand other material constants resist the fluid rotation. Fractional parameters effect on fluid flow is opposite to each other. Finally, to check the validity of the solution there are comparisons for velocity field and shear stress for obtained results with an other numerical algorithm named Tzou’s algorithm.
