Abstract Unsteady laminar flows and heat transfer of n-immiscible fractional Maxwell fluids in a channel are investigated under influence of time-dependent pressure gradient. The isothermal channel walls have translational motions in their planes with time-dependent velocities. Governing equations of the mathematical model are based on the generalized constitutive equations for shear stress and thermal flux described by the time-fractional Caputo derivative. Analytical and semi-analytical solutions for velocity, shear stress, and temperature fields are obtained by using finite sine-Fourier and Laplace transforms. In the case of semi-analytical solutions, the inverse Laplace transforms are obtained numerically by employing the Talbots algorithms. Using the software Mathcad, numerical calculations have carried out and results are presented in graphical illustrations in order to analyze the memory effects on the fluid temperature and motion. It is found that in fluids with thermal memory the heat transfer is slower compared with the ordinary fluid, while the fractional velocity parameters act as braking/accelerating factors of the fluids. Keywords: n-layered immiscible fluids; generalized thermal flux; fractional Maxwell fluids; analytical and semi-analytical solutions

could be useful to the optimal transport of crude oils, polymer solutions or mucus transport in the respiratory tract [1]. To obtain polymer films or plaques, the co-extrusion process of different polymers is used. Sometimes, due to technological process imperfections, the finished product may have some wavy interfaces (interfacial instability). Theoretical studies of the stability of multi-layer plane Poiseuille flows give important information about parameters that control the stability of multi-layer flows such as layer thickness ratios (flow-rate ratios), viscosity ratios or, density ratios [2, 3]. Anturkar et al. [4] have investigated the linear interfacial stability of multilayer plane Poiseuille flows of Oldroyd-B fluids with shear rate dependent viscosity. They determined asymptotic solutions at long wavelengths and found that multilayer flows of viscoelastic fluids can be stable for all wavelengths. Also, it is obtained that, symmetric and nearly symmetric configurations with three layers are unstable if the inner fluid is more viscous than the outer fluids [4]. Linear stability of flows of viscoelastic fluids with interfaces has been analyzed by Bogaerds et al. [5] by using the time dependent finite element algorithm. One-dimensional flows of sandwiched viscoelastic fluids which are defined by the Johnson-Segalman and ordinary/modified Phan-Thien Tanner constitutive laws have been investigated by Herve Le Meur [6]. In this interesting work, the existence and uniqueness for the multilayer Couette/ Poiseuille flows in channels/pipes have been investigated. It is found that, the viscosity ratios and the parameter of interpolated Oldroyd derivative play an important role in the uniqueness of solution. Vasquez et al. [7] have modeled and simulated the mucus flow in human bronchial epithelial cell cultures. They studied idealized axisymmetric swirling flows considering four kinds of fluids Newtonian fluid, upper-convected Maxwell fluid, Giesekus fluid and 5-mode Giesekus fluid. Barannyk et al [8] have studied nonlinear dynamic of stratified immiscible, perfect dielectric fluids in horizontal channels in the presence of an electric field perpendicular on the gravitational field. They found that a strong electric field could stabilize the Rayleigh -Taylor interfacial instability. Flows of three-layer of different fluids driven by the gravity and a pressure gradient in a slightly inclined channel have been investigated by Papaefthymiou and Papageorgiou [9]. They observed that nonlinear stability depends on the existence of bounded invariant regions in the hyperbolic state space of the interfacial. Zhao et al. [10] have studied unsteady boundary layer natural convection heat transfer of the fractional Maxwell fluids. Mainly, they found that these coefficients are several times larger than those in non-swirling flows. The interfacial coefficient is well correlated in terms of the liquid volume fraction and the gas Reynolds number, while both gas Reynolds number and liquid Reynolds number are required for correlating the wall friction coefficient. Other interesting problems can be found in [11–14]. It is worth point out that many complex systems in chemistry, mechanics or biology are modeled by differential and integral operators of integer order. In recent years, very precise experiments have shown the existence of anomalous processes which cannot be satisfactorily described by differential equations of integer order; these complex systems are described more accurate by the fractional differential equations. There are many fractional differential operators studied by the fractional calculus. Riemann-Liouville fractional integral/derivative [15], Caputo fractional derivative [16], Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative [17], AtagnanaBaleanu fractional derivative [18] or Prabhakar fractional derivative [19] are only some from the fractional differential operators used in viscoelasticty, thermal and mass transport. Hristov [20] has applied the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative to study the transient space-fractional diffusion with power-law superdiffusivity. Mahsud et al. [21] have 3
investigated boundary layer flows of an upper-convected Maxwell fluid modeled by the timefractional Caputo-Fabrizio derivatives. They found that fractional fluids flow slower than the ordinary fluids. Using Laplace and Hankel transforms, Jiang et al. [22] have studied electroosmotic flows of Oldroyd-B fluids with a fractional constitutive equation based on the time-fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative. Wang et al. [23] have investigated the unsteady electroosmotic flows of generalized Maxwell fluids in cylindrical domains and made comparison between ordinary and generalized Maxwell fluids. Ying et al. [24] have studied the electroosmotic flows of the fractional Maxwell fluids in a rectangular microchannel using a fully discrete spectral method for the temporal variable and a Legendre spectral method in the spatial direction. Theoretical results and practical applications of the fractional calculus can be found in the references [25–28]. In this paper we investigate multi-layer flows with heat transfer of Maxwell fluids with generalized constitutive equations for the shear stress and thermal flux. The flow domain is a rectangular channel bounded of two parallel isothermal plates which have translational motion in their planes with time-dependent velocities. The generalized constitutive equations, used in this work, are described by the Caputo time-fractional derivative, therefore the histories of the velocity gradient and histories of temperature gradient influence the fluid shear stress and temperature. Analytical solutions for the Laplace transforms of temperature, velocity and shear stress fields are obtained by employing the Laplace and finite sine-Fourier transforms and hypothesis that interfacial velocities, shear stresses, thermal fluxes and temperatures are equal for adjacent fluids. The obtained results have a general character; therefore many particular cases can be obtained. Multi-layer flows of ordinary/fractional Maxwell fluids are studied as particular cases by letting some fractional parameters equal with one. Numerical values of the temperature and velocity fields are obtained by using the Mathcad software and the numerical Talbots algorithms for the inverse Laplace transforms. Numerical results are used for graphical illustrations of the fluid temperature and velocity. According with the generalized constitutive equations for the shear stress and thermal flux, the variations of the thermal/velocity kernels with the fractional parameter are different for small, respectively large time. It is found that at small values of time t, the heat transfer is smaller in fluids with generalized thermal flux than in the ordinary. At large values of time t, the behavior is opposite. The velocity memory fractional parameters act as braking/accelerating factors of the fluids.

Mathematical Modeling
The flow domain is D0 = {(x0 , y 0 , z 0 )| x0 ∈ (−∞, ∞), y 0 ∈ [0, h], z 0 ∈ (−∞, ∞)}, with the boundary walls situated in planes y 0 = 0 and y 0 = h > 0 . Initially at time t0 = 0, the two plates and the enclosed fluids are at rest with the ambient temperature is T2o . After this moment, the channel flat wall situated in the plane y 0 = 0 is moving along the x0 -axis with the velocity u01o = U0 f1 (t0 ) and the temperature T1o , while the plane wall y 0 = h translates parallel with the x0 -axis with the velocity u02o = U0 g1 (t0 ) and the temperature T2o (Fig.1). Functions f1 (t0 ), g1 (t0 ) are differentiable functions of exponential order at infinity and f1 (0) = g1 (0) = 0. In this paper the velocity field is considered to be of the form 4
Figure 1: Geometry of the problem. V~ 0 = (u0 (y 0 , t0 ), 0, 0). We consider here n-layers Maxwell fluids between two parallel plates. Let h0 = 0 and hn = h. In the region y 0 ∈ [hi−1 , hi ], hi−1 < hi flows a Maxwell fluid with the density ρi , viscosity µi , relaxation time λ0i = Gµii , Gi the elastic modulus, velocity u0i (y 0 , t0 ), temperature Ti0 (y 0 , t0 ), thermal flux qi0 (y 0 , t0 ) and the shear stress τi0 (y 0 , t0 ), where i = 1, 2, . . . , n. The fluids are assumed to be immiscible and incompressible and the flow is one-dimensional, unsteady and fully developed. The flows of the fluids are generated by the time-dependent pressure gradient in the flow direction and by the movements of the two walls of the channel. Based on the assumptions about velocity fields, the continuity equation is identically 0 := satisfied by all velocities ui (y 0 , t0 ), i = 1, 2, · · · , n. We fix here In1 := {1, 2, · · · , n}, In−1 {0, 1, · · · , n − 1}.

Multiplying Eq. (24) by 1 + λi sαi both sides and using Eq. (25) we obtained the system of equations for Laplace transformed velocities, ∂ 2 u¯i (y, s) , i ∈ In1 , ai s(1 + λi sαi )¯ ui (y, s) = (1 + λi sαi )P¯ (s) + bi ∂y 2 ¯ s) = where φ(y,

In order to find the exact solution of velocities ui (y, t) we will use the finite sine-Fourier transform along with the Laplace transform. The finite sine-Fourier transform of the function ¯ s), y ∈ [a, b] is defined as [30] φ(y, e (s) = φ m

Semi-analytical solution for velocity and shear stress
This subsection is devoted to determine a new form of solutions to the problem given by Eqs. (24), (25), (28a), (29a) with the help of the Laplace transform coupled with the classical method for the ordinary differential equations. The general solutions of the system of the equations (52) are p p 1 ¯ P (s), (75) u¯i (y, s) = Di (s) exp −y wi (s) + Ei (s) exp y wi (s) + ai s where

(76)
Now with Eq. (25) and (75), the Laplace transformed form of the shear stresses τi (y, t), i ∈ In1 , can be written as τ¯i (y, s) =

The Laplace transforms given by Eqs. (75), (77) and (81) are complicated, therefore analytical methods are difficult to use for the inverse Laplace transforms of these functions. Here we used two accuracy numerical algorithms, namely the fixed Talbot algorithm [31] and the improved Talbot algorithm [32] for numerical Laplace transform inversion defined in Eqs. (48)-(51).

Numerical results and discussions
Unsteady multi-layer laminar flows with heat transfer of Maxwell fluids within a rectangular channel have been investigated by using fractional constitutive equations for the shear stress and thermal flux. The motion of fluids is generated by the channel walls, which are moving with the time-dependent velocities in their planes, and by the time-dependent pressure gradient in the flow direction. The generalized constitutive equations, used in this work, are described by the Caputo time-fractional derivative, therefore, the histories of the velocity gradient and histories of temperature gradient influence the behavior of fluids. Analytical solutions for the Laplace transforms of temperature and velocity fields have been obtained by employing the Laplace transform and Talbots algorithms for the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform. Closed form for fluids velocity has been determined by coupling the Laplace transform with finite sine-Fourier transforms. Analytical and semianalytical solutions have been obtained along with the hypotheses that interfacial velocities, shear stresses, thermal fluxes and temperatures are equal for adjacent fluids. The obtained results have a general character; therefore many particular cases can be obtained. Multi-layer flows of ordinary/fractional Maxwell fluids can be studied as particular cases by letting some fractional parameters equal with one. Using the software Mathcad, numerical calculations were carried out for the obtained solutions. Numerical results are presented in Figs. 2- 13. 20
Figs. 2 - 5 have been plotted in order to analyze the influence of the thermal fractional parameters βi , i = 1, 2, 3 on the layers temperature. The considered fluids are characterized by the following material parameters ρ1 = 1000, µ1 = 0.05, G1 = 1.2, cp1 = 0.25, k1 = 2.5, d1 = 0.3, ρ2 = 1300, µ2 = 0.2, G2 = 2.4, cp2 = 0.27, k2 = 2.7, d2 = 0.7, ρ3 = 1500, µ3 = 0.6, G3 = 5.0, cp3 = 0.29, k1 = 2.9, d1 = 1.0. Profiles of layers temperature, given by Eq. (31), versus the spatial coordinate y, for different values of the thermal fractional parameters are sketched in Fig. 2 for small time, t = 0.02, and Fig. 3 for large time, t = 2. It is observed from Fig. 2 that the variation of the thermal fractional parameter β1 of the fluid situated in the first layer, has significant influence on the temperature in the first and second layers but, the influence on the temperature from the third layer is insignificant. This behavior is due to the decreasing of temperature in the first and second layer with the fractional parameter β1 . It is known from Eq. (22) that the memory kernel of thermal flux is β−1 the function hβ (t) = tΓ(β) whose graph is given in Fig. 6. It is observed from Fig 6 that, for t = 0.02 and β1 ≥ 0.4 the kernel hβ (t) is decreasing with β1 , therefore the weight function of the thermal gradient decreases (the memory effects are weaker). An opposite behavior has been found for the large time when the memory kernel increases with the fractional parameter (See Fig 6, for t = 2). In this case, memory effects are stronger and the layers temperature increase with the fractional parameter β1 (See Fig. 3). Time-evolution of layers temperature, in different positions of the channel and for different values of the thermal fractional parameters are presented in Figs. 4 and 5. As seen in Figs. 4 and 5, the temperature as function of the fractional parameter, has different behavior for small, respectively for large values of the time t. This behavior is in accordance with the previous results presented in Figs. 2 and 3 and with the evolution of the thermal memory kernel hβ (t). We must note that the layers temperatures have small variations in time and after a low value of the time t (t = 1 in analyzed cases), the temperatures are almost constant. Also, from numerical simulations, was observed that the influence of the second/third thermal fractional parameter on the fluid temperature is smaller than the influence of the first fractional parameter. This behavior is due to the thermal boundary conditions because, only the wall y = 0 is heated, so the interfacial temperatures decreases away from this wall. To investigate the velocity of fluids of the three layers, we considered the particular case when the velocities of channel walls are constant, namely, u1 (0, t) = f (t) = 0.5H(t), u3 (1, t) = g(t) = 0.4H(t), H(t) being the unit step Heaviside function and the pressure gradient is P (t) = 1 + sin(t). Figs. 7-9 were plotted in order to study the influence of the velocity fractional parameters αi on the velocity fields. The fractional parameters have effects of braking. The flows of the first two layers are slowed down but, the fluid in the third layer is accelerated. Even if, the wall y = 0 moves with the constant velocity, fluid velocity decreases due viscosities and the tα b α−1 damping of the velocity gradient with the kernel χα (t) = λ t Eα,α − λ . The profiles of the function χα (t) are drawn in Fig. 13. For t = 1, the values of stress kernel decrease with α ≥ 0.5, therefore the memory effects are weakened. The influence of the viscosities ratios bi = µµ1i on the fluid velocity is analyzed in Figs. 1012. It is observed that, for decreasing values of the ratio bi , fluid velocity increases. Indeed, in this case the viscosities of fluids in second and third layer are smaller than viscosity of the 21
first fluid; therefore after the first interface the viscous forces are smaller than the viscous force in the first layer. For increasing values of the ratio bi , fluid flows slower. In order to verify the accuracy of numerical results, we used the analytical solution of velocity given by Eq. (72) and the semi-analytical solution given by Eq. (75) for following values of parameters: d0 = 0.3, d1 = 0.7, d2 = 1, t = 2.5, α1 = 0.8, α2 = 0.7, α3 = 0.4, µ1 = 0.6, µ2 = 0.3, µ3 = 0.6 Numerical results are given in Table 1 and Fig. 14. There is a good agreement between the results obtained with the two formulas.

Conclusions
Unsteady multi-layer flows with heat transfer of Maxwell immiscible fluids with generalized constitutive equations for the shear stress and thermal flux in a rectangular channel have been investigated. The generalized constitutive equations are described by the Caputo time-fractional derivative, therefore the fluids behavior is influenced by the histories of the velocity gradient and of temperature gradient. Analytical and semi-analytical solutions for the temperature, velocity and shear stress fields are obtained by employing the Laplace and finite sine-Fourier transforms and hypothesis that interfacial velocities, shear stresses, thermal fluxes and temperatures are equal for adjacent fluids. The obtained results have a general character; therefore many particular cases can be obtained. Multi-layer flows of ordinary/fractional Maxwell fluids are studied as particular cases by letting some fractional parameters equal with one. Numerical values of the temperature and velocity fields are obtained by using the Mathcad software and the numerical Talbots algorithms for the inverse Laplace transforms. Numerical results are used for graphical illustrations of the fluid temperature and velocity. The heat transfer and fluid motions are different for small, respectively large values of the time t. These different behaviors are due to the thermal/ velocity kernels variations with respect to time and fractional parameters, therefore the memory effects have significant influence on the fluids. This behavior is in agreement with the variation of the thermal kernel hβ (t) (See Fig. 6). For the values of the thermal fractional parameter β ≤ 0.35 and small values of the time t, the thermal kernel hβ (t) increases with β therefore, the values of the temperature gradient are strongly damped and the heat transfer is reduced. For the thermal fractional parameter β > 0.35, the values of thermal kernel decreases, the damping of the thermal gradient is more weakly and the heat transfer increases. The stress damping kernel χα (t) has the variation similar to the thermal damping kernel (See Fig. 13), therefore, the effect on the fluid velocity is stronger for small values of the stress fractional parameter α.
