Abstract

An unsteady flow and heat transfer to an infinite porous disk rotating in a Reiner—Rivlin non-Newtonian fluid are considered. The effect of the non-Newtonian fluid characteristics and injection (suction) through the disk surface on velocity and temperature distributions and heat transfer is considered. Numerical solutions are obtained over the entire range of the governing parameters.
