Abstract
We consider a fluid queue driven by a discouraged arrivals queue and obtain explicit expressions for the stationary distribution function of the buffer content in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. We compare it with a fluid queue driven by an infinite server queue. Numerical results are presented to compare the behaviour of the buffer content distributions for both these models.
