Abstract
The classical heat conduction law of Fourier associates an infinite speed of propagation to a thermal disturbance in a material body. Such behavior is a violation of the causality principle. In recent years, several modifications of Fourier's heat law have been proposed. In this work, a modified form of Fourier's heat law, based on the Maxwell-Cattaneo-Fox (MCF) model, is used to analyze the heat conduction effects in Stokes' second problem for a dipolar fluid. The structure of the waves and the influence of the dipolar constants on the velocity field is investigated. These results are then compared to the viscous fluid case. In addition, the displacement thickness and skin friction at the plate are determined.
