Some unsteady motions of incompressible upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluids with exponential dependence of viscosity on the pressure are analytically studied. The fluid motion between two infinite horizontal parallel plates is generated by the lower plate, which applies time-dependent shear stresses to the fluid. Exact expressions, in terms of standard Bessel functions, are established both for the dimensionless velocity fields and the corresponding non-trivial shear stresses using the Laplace transform technique and suitable changes of the unknown function and the spatial variable in the transform domain. They represent the first exact solutions for unsteady motions of non-Newtonian fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity. The similar solutions corresponding to the flow of the same fluids due to an exponential shear stress on the boundary as well as the solutions of ordinary UCM fluids performing the same motions are obtained as limiting cases of present results. Furthermore, known solutions for unsteady motions of the incompressible Newtonian fluids with/without pressure-dependent viscosity induced by oscillatory or constant shear stresses on the boundary are also obtained as limiting cases. Finally, the influence of physical parameters on the fluid motion is graphically illustrated and discussed. It is found that fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity flow are slower when compared to ordinary fluids.

A semi-analytical solution of the thermal entrance problem with constant wall temperature for channel flow of Maxwell type viscoelastic fluids and Newtonian fluids, both with pressure dependent viscosity, is derived. A Fourier–Gauss pseudo-spectral scheme is developed and used to solve the variable coefficient parabolic partial differential energy equation. The dependence of the Nusselt number and the bulk temperature on the pressure coefficient is investigated for the Newtonian case including viscous dissipation. These effects are found to be closely interactive. The effect of the Weissenberg number on the local Nusselt number is explored for the Maxwell fluid with pressure-dependent viscosity. Local Nusselt number decreases with increasing pressure coefficient for both fluids. The local Nusselt number Nu for Newtonian fluid with pressure-dependent viscosity is always greater than Nu related to the viscoelastic Maxwell fluid with pressure-dependent viscosity.

The aim of this paper is to presents a theoretical analysis on squeeze-film characteristics of a rough porous circular stepped plate in the vicinity of pressure-dependent viscosity and lubrication by micropolar fluids. A closed-form expression for non-dimensional pressure, load, and squeezing time is derived based on Eringen’s theory, Darcy’s equation, and Christensen’s stochastic approach. Results indicate that the effects of pressure-dependent viscosity, surface roughness, and micropolar fluids play an important role in increasing the load-carrying capacity and squeezing time, whereas the presence of porous media decreases the load-carrying capacity and squeezing time of the rough porous circular stepped plates.
