Resumen
A rheological linear model for a certain generalized Bingham fluid with rheological memory, which flows in a movable tube is proposed and analytically solved. The model is a system of two linear and coupled partial differential equations with integral memory. We apply the Laplace transform method making the inverse transform by means of the Bromwich integral and the theorem of residues and the analytical solution are obtained using computer algebra. We deduce the explicit forms of the velocity and stress profiles for the generalized Bingham fluid in terms of Bessel and Struve functions. Various limit cases are obtained and the standard Hagen-Poiseuille and Buckingham-Reiner equations are recovered from more general equations. This works shows the powerful of Maple to solve complex rheological problems in an analytical form as it is presented here by the first time. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
