Abstract
The flow past an infinite vertical isothermal plate started impulsively in its own plane in a viscous incompressible two-phase fluid has been considered by taking into account the viscous dissipative heat. The coupled nonlinear equations governing the flow are solved for fluid and particle phases by finite difference method. The velocity and temperature fields have been shown graphically for
