Abstract
Steady non-isothermal parallel-plate flow of a Newtonian fluid with a temperature dependent
viscosity is considered. The viscosity is modelled by a Nahme type law. We apply axisymmetric
Q k finite elements to the coupled nonlinear system to obtain numerical solutions for a wide
range of parameters.
