Abstract
Some unsteady motions of incompressible upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluids with exponential dependence of viscosity on the pressure are analytically studied. The fluid motion between two infinite horizontal parallel plates is generated by the lower plate, which applies time-dependent shear stresses to the fluid. Exact expressions, in terms of standard Bessel functions, are established both for the dimensionless velocity fields and the corresponding non-trivial shear stresses using the Laplace transform technique and suitable changes of the unknown function and the spatial variable in the transform domain. They represent the first exact solutions for unsteady motions of non-Newtonian fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity. The similar solutions corresponding to the flow of the same fluids due to an exponential shear stress on the boundary as well as the solutions of ordinary UCM fluids performing the same motions are obtained as limiting cases of present results. Furthermore, known solutions for unsteady motions of the incompressible Newtonian fluids with/without pressure-dependent viscosity induced by oscillatory or constant shear stresses on the boundary are also obtained as limiting cases. Finally, the influence of physical parameters on the fluid motion is graphically illustrated and discussed. It is found that fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity flow are slower when compared to ordinary fluids.
