The aim of this work is to analyze the thermal radiation effects in a time-dependent axisymmetric flow of a Jeffery fluid. The flow in a fluid is induced by the unsteady squeezing of two parallel disks. The related partial differential equations for the modeled problem are simplified and transformed into coupled ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformations. The differential system is solved for the convergent series solution. Effects of the various physical parameters have been analyzed for suction and injection cases.
