A different approach to exact solutions in non-Newtonian second-grade of creeping fluid

In this paper, we find exact solutions to steady non-Newtonian second-grade equation of motion for creeping fluid in two dimension. A modified solution methodology developed by Hamdan [M. H. Hamdan, An alternative approach to exact solutions of a special class of Navier-Stokes flows, Appl. Math. Comput. 93 (1998) 83-90] is used to find exact solutions which has shown some advantages over the traditional approach. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
