Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model for rotating flow and heat transfer of upper-convected Maxwell fluid

Meraj Mustafa
- 07 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is used to investigate the rotating flow of viscoelastic fluid bounded by a stretching surface and the boundary layer equations are first modeled and then reduced to self-similar forms via similarity approach.
