Abstract

We present a paper on the non-isothermal couette flow between two plates.We investigate fluid flow

between two fixed parallel horizontal plates. The fluid is assumed to depend on temperature. We model a

viscous fluid, it is assumed that the viscosity of the fluid is linear and the thermal conductivity is a linear

function of the temperature. We investigate the properties of the velocity and we show that the temperature and

velocity fields have two solutions for some viscosity and the results were discussed.
