Flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate in a rotating fluid with constant heat flux

A finite difference solution to the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid flowing past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate in a rotating f luid is derived by assuming constant heat flux at the plate. Axial and tran sverse components of velocity, temperature profiles are shown graphically a nd the effects of the rotation parameter, the Grashof number, the Prandtl n umber and the Eckert number are discussed. The numerical values of the axia l skin-friction and the Nusselt number are also computed and listed in tabl es.
