Abstract

In this paper, unsteady one-dimensional
ows in a rectangular channel of two incompressible and immiscible
generalized second grade
uids are studied. The generalization discussed consists onto mathematical framework
constructed upon constitutive equations of second-grade (SG)
uid with temporal fractional derivatives Caputo (C),
Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) and Atangna-Baleanu (ABC). The evolution of a shear stress has an impact on the velocity
gradient. The velocity and shear stress components are transformed using a Laplace transformation. The Stehfest's
numerical approach for the reverse Laplace transformation is used to obtain numerical results for actual velocity
and shear stress. The impact of fractional parameters upon velocity and shear stress is investigated using numerical
simulations and graphical depictions. The memory impacts are just noticeable for tiny amounts of time t, according
to this theory.
