This study presents the boundary layer flow of a second grade fluid in a rotating reference frame. The model equations are solved numerically using the bivariate spectral quasi-linearization method to obtain the fluid properties. We investigate the effects of measurable quantities such as the rate of rotation, thermal diffusivity, energy dissipation, viscoelastic parameter and other material properties of the fluid on the flow. The results show that slow rotation leads to a quick decline in the thicknesses of the momentum, thermal and concentration boundary layers. There is also a region of reverse flow for fluids with high Prandtl number.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
