Natural convection flow of a non-Newtonian fluid between two vertical flat plates. (English) Zbl 0558.76008

The natural convection of a homogeneous incompressible fluid of grade three is investigated between two infinite parallel vertical plates. The effect of the non-Newtonian nature of fluid on the skin friction and heat transfer are studied.
