Abstract

In this work a numerical investigation has been conducted to study the unsteady oscillatory flow of a viscous fluid induced by a swirling disk. The disk stretches radially with the time-based sinusoidal oscillations. The governing equations for the three-dimensional boundary layer-flow are normalized using a suitable set of similarity transformations. The normalized partial differential equations are then solved numerically using a finite difference scheme by altering the semi-infinite domain to a finite domain. The effects of various imperative parameters on the oscillatory flow are discussed with graphs and tables.
