Abstract
The unsteady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of second-grade fluid impinging on an infinite plate is examined and solutions are obtained. It is assumed that the infinite plate at ��= 0 is making harmonic oscillations in its own plane. Solutions for small and large frequencies of the oscillations are obtained for various values of the Weissenberg number. The effect of the Weissenberg number is to decrease the velocity near the wall as it increases.
