The present paper contains a numerical study for the secondary flow of a Reiner-Rivlin non-Newtonian fluid in laminar flow through ducts of square and rectangular cross section. Finite difference methods are developed to obtain the primary flow, the secondary flow, and the friction factor. The infl
