Abstract

This study deals with the flow of a third grade fluid past an infinite plate. Both fluid and plate are in a state of rigid body rotation. The analysis presented here deals with similarity solutions of the problem and is done in the following way. We consider a Lagrangian formulation which allows us to directly determine conserved quantities leading to a reduction of the resultant systems.
