Abstract

Exact solutions for three canonical flow problems of a dipolar fluid are obtained: (i) The flow of a dipolar fluid due to a suddenly accelerated plate, (ii) The flow generated by periodic oscillation of a plate, (iii) The flow due to plate oscillation in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The solutions of some interesting flows caused by an arbitrary velocity of the plate and of certain special oscillations are also obtained.
