Semi-inverse solutions of a non-newtonian fluid

Solutions for the equations of motion of an incompressible second grade fluid are obtained by employing semi-inverse methods in which we assume certain geometrical or kinematical properties of the fields. Specifically the problems studied in viscous fluids by Jeffery, Hamel and Görtler and Wieghardt, etc. are considered in a second grade fluid and the results for stream lines, velocities and pressure distribution are compared in the two cases.
