%X An attempt is made to examine the classical Von K¨¢rm¨¢n flow problem for a second grade fluid by using ageneralized non-similarity transformation. This approach is dierent from that of Von K¨¢rm¨¢n¡¯s evolution of theflow in such a way that the physical quantities are allowed to develop non-axisymmetrically. The three-dimensionalequations of motion for the second grade fluid are treated analytically yielding the derivation of the exact solutions forthe velocity components. The physical interpretation of the velocity components, vorticity components, shear stressesand boundary layer thickness are also presented.
