TY  - JOUR
AB  - The decade following the second world war heralded the publication of a collection of important papers on non-Newtonian fluid mechanics; Oldroyd’s work featured heavily in this collection. Not only did these articles establish important results, but Oldroyd’s style and methods set the scene for subsequent work in the area, exploiting mathematical analysis to formulate problems, establish results and guide further research. While Oldroyd’s name will forever be linked with the study of elastic fluids, the purpose of the present paper is to offer a modern perspective on a number of Oldroyd’s papers on viscoplastic fluids from 1947–1951 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Along the way, we sprinkle in a brief review of some of the subsequent developments stemming from Oldroyd’s advances, together with a few new results guided by his work. Following the approach of most of Oldroyd’s original papers, we focus on unidirectional flow down conduits. In an Appendix, we complement this discussion with a lubrication analysis, extending, clarifying and correcting the important original analysis of Walton and Bittleston (1991) [9]; although lubrication theory was not directly utilized by Oldroyd, the methodology aligns with his philosophy of using asymptotic and analytical approaches.
