Abstract
In this thesis, we consider the flow behaviour of Casson fluid under different
circumstances.
Firstly, some basic definitions and concepts regarding the fundamentals of fluid
motion and methods to solve the flow problems have been discussed.
In Chapter 2, the free convection flow of Casson fluid past an upright plate subject
to the time dependent velocity f(t) with constant wall temperature has been
investigated. The vertical plate is set in motion with a time dependent velocity f(t)
at time t = 0+. And so the motion will be produced in the fluid. Exact solutions
are obtained through the Laplace Transform method. The solutions corresponding
to Newtonian fluid for
→ ∞ is obtained as a limiting case. Also we have discussed
some consequences of various parameters like Casson parameter, Grash¨of
and Prandtl numbers on velocity and temperature and presented them graphically
