Abstract

An experiment is described which indicates a flow reversal due to fluid elasticity in the case of a rotating-plate experiment. An attempt to predict this reversal analytically on the ‘infinite’ plate assumption fails and recourse is made to a numerical procedure to solve the ‘finite’ plate problem. It is shown that the reversal is due to edge effects.
