Introduction The fluids of grade n , introduced by Rivlin and Ericksen [1], are the fluids for which the stress tensor is a polynomial of degree n in the first n Rivlin-Ericksen tensors defined recursively by A 1 = A = 2 D A k +1 = d d t A k + L t A k + A k L where d d t = ∂ t + u ∙ r denotes the material derivative and L = ( ∂ j u i ) i,j  L t = ( ∂ i u j ) i,j  D = 1 2 ( ∂ i u j + ∂ j u i ) i,j . For third grade fluids, physical considerations were taken into account by Fosdick and Rajagopal [2] in order to obtain the following form for the constitutive law: T = − pI + νA 1 + α 1 A 2 + α 2 A 1 2 + β | A 1 | 2 A 1  which, introduced in the equation of conservation of momentum leads to the following equation: (1) ∂ t ( u − α 1 4 u ) − ν 4 u + u ∙ r u − α 1 div( u ∙ r A + L t A + AL ) − α 2 div A 2 − β div( | A | 2 A ) = f − r p div u = 0 . Moreover, the coefficients ν , α 1 , α 2 and β must satisfy the following hypotheses: ν ≥ 0  α 1 > 0  β ≥ 0 and | α 1 + α 2 | ≤ (24 νβ ) 1 / 2 . 1
