It is more satisfactory for fluid materials between viscous and elastic to introducethe fractional calculus approach into the constitutive relationship. This paper employsthe fractional calculus approach to study second fluid flow in a paper. First, we derivethe analytical solution which the derivate order is half and then with the analytical solution we verify the reliability of Laplace numerical inversion based on Crumpalgouithm for the problem, and finally we analyze the characteristics of second order fluid flow in a pipe by using Crump method. The results indicate that the more obviousthe viscoelastic properties of fluid is, the more sensitive the dependence of velocity andstress on fractional derivative order is.
