TL;DR: In this article, a class of exact solutions to the equations of motion of a second grade fluid were established wherein the nonlinearities which occur in the equations are self-cancelling though individually non-vanishing.

TL;DR: In this article, the theory of interacting continua is applied to the problem of diffusiion of a fluid through a non-linear elastic layer and a hollow sphere, and restrictions are derived from a thermodynamic standpoint for the partial stresses for the fluid and solid and the diffusive body force.

TL;DR: An exact solution for the flow of a second grade fluid between two infinite parallel plates rotating about non-coincident axes normal to the plates is given in this article, where the stability of the above flow is investigated for disturbances of finite amplitude.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that requiring that the specific internal energy of the fluid be a minimum when the fluid is locally at rest is not equivalent to a similar requirement on the specific Helmholtz free energy.
