Unsteady flow of a non-Newtonian fluid above a rotating disk with heat transfer

The unsteady flow of an incompressible viscous non-Newtonian fluid above an infinite rotating disk is studied with heat transfer. The effect of the non-Newtonian fluid characteristics on the velocity and temperature distributions as well as the heat transfer is considered. Numerical solutions for the non-linear partial differential equations which govern the hydrodynamics and energy transfer are obtained.
