Abstract The transient flow in the Ekman layer of an elastico-viscous liquid near a flat plate is discussed. Initially the fluid and the plate were rotating together and the plate then suddently starts moving with a uniform velocity in its own plane relative to the rotating frame of reference. It is shown that the ultimate steady state is reached through decay of inertial oscillations whose frequency decreases with increase in the elastic parameter.
