Two-Dimensional and Axisymmetric Unsteady Flows due to Normally Expanding or Contracting Parallel Plates

The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel plates due to the normal motion of the plates for two cases, the two-dimensional flow case and the axisymmetric flow case, is investigated. The governing nonlinear equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into...
