The induced unsteady flow due to a stretching porous surface in a rotating fluid, where the unsteadiness is caused by the suddenly stretched surface is studied in this paper. After a similarity tranformation, the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations have been solved numerically using the Adams Predictor Corrector Method. It is found that there is a smooth transition from the small time solution to the large time or steady state solution. and Obsahuje seznam literatury a názvosloví
