Description
We correct certain errors and ambiguities in the recent pedagogical article by Hopkins and de Bruyn (Can. J. Phys. 92, 533 (2014). doi:10.1139/cjp-2013-0334). The early-time asymptotics of the solution to the transient version of Stokes' second problem for an Oldroyd-B fluid in a half-space is presented, as Appendix A, to complement the late-time asymptotics given by Hopkins and de Bruyn.
