Natural convection flow of a non-Newtonian fluid between two concentric vertical cylinders. (English) Zbl 0716.76008

Summary: The natural convection of a homogeneous incompressible fluid of grade three between two infinite concentric vertical cylinders is studied. We consider the effect of the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid on the skin friction and heat transfer. Some numerical experimentation is presented to show the effect on the velocity and temperature profiles as the dimensionless parameters are varied.
