Mixed convection flow of viscous and second grade fluids due to non–coaxial rotation

Unsteady flow of viscous and second grade fluids in non-coaxial rotation past a vertical oscillating disk have been studied by a number of researchers due to wide applications in boundary layer control, food processing, mixer machines and cooling turbine blades. Therefore, in this research, heat and...
