Abstract

Flow between two plates is considered for a fluid obeying the DeWitt rheological equation of state with the Jaumann derivative. It is found analytically that the steady-state Couette flow is stable or unstable with respect to plane shear perturbations when the Weissenberg numbers are less or greater than unity, respectively. The flow acceleration stage is studied analytically and numerically, a comparison with the case of an Oldroyd fluid is carried out, and the neutral stability curves are constructed. The fundamental role of perturbations of the type considered among the set of instability types which can act on the fluid in such a flow is noted.
