Comments on: "Energetic balance for the Rayleigh--Stokes problem of an Oldroyd-B fluid" [Nonlinear Anal. RWA 12 (2011) 1]

Abstract

We point out that an erroneous derivation in the recent paper [Fetecau et al., Nonlinear Anal. RWA 12 (2011) 1] yields a correct solution by accident. Additionally, a number of misrepresentations and inaccuracies in the latter recent paper are identified, corrected and/or clarified in this Comment. Finally, a listing of recent papers in this journal that make a mistake applying the Fourier sine transform, and thus present erroneous solutions, is given as an Appendix.
