Abstract
In this paper, the generalized Oldroyd-B with fractional calculus approach is used. An exact solution in terms of Fox-H function for flow past an accelerated horizontal plate in a rotating fluid is obtained by using discrete Laplace transform method. A comparison among the influence of various parameters in the Oldroyd-B model and the angular velocity of the fluid on the velocity profiles is made through numerical method in graphic form.
