Abstract
Start-up thin film flow of fluids of grade three over a vertical longitudinally oscillating solid wall in a porous medium is investigated. The governing non-linear partial differential equation representing the momentum balance is solved by the Fourier-Galerkin approximation. The effect of the porosity, material constants as well as oscillations on the drainage rate and flow enhancement is explored and clarified.
