Increasing flow rates is a major problem in transporting petroleum as well as polymer solutions and melts. Industrial methods are often directed to reducing the effective viscosity: heating and pulsation. The latter is related to the nonlinearity in the properties. This paper studies the effects of pressure-gradient pulsations on the nonisothermal flow of a nonlinear liquid with memory in an annular channel.
