We study the steady flow of a second grade fluid down an open inclined channel. We formulate the mathematical problem, a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplacian with an unknown free boundary described by a nonlinear second-order ODE, and prove existence of a unique solution for small data using a contraction argument.
