  Conformal Ricci solitons are self similar solutions of the conformal Ricci
flow equation. This paper deals with the study of conformal Ricci solitons
within the framework of warped product manifolds which extends the notion of
usual Riemannian product manifolds. First, we prove that if a warped product
manifold admits conformal Ricci soliton then the base and the fiber also share
the same property. In the next section the characterization of conformal Ricci
solitons on warped product manifolds in terms of Killing and conformal vector
fields has been studied. Next, we prove that a warped product manifold
admitting conformal Ricci soliton with concurrent potential vector field is
Ricci flat. Finally, an application of conformal Ricci soliton on a class of
warped product spacetimes namely, generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes has
been discussed.
