Active polar fluid flow in finite droplets.
We present a continuum level analytical model of a droplet of active contractile fluid consisting of filaments and motors. We calculate the steady state flows that result from a splayed polarisation of the filaments. We account for interaction with the external medium by imposing a viscous friction at the fixed droplet boundary. We then show that the droplet has non-zero force dipole and quadru...
متن کاملInstabilities in Gravity Driven Flow of Thin Fluid Films
This paper presents theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of the instability development in the ow of thin uid lms. The theoretical part involves basic uid mechanics and presents derivation of the thin lm equation using lubrication approximation. Simpli ed version of this equation is then analyzed analytically using linear stability analysis, and also numerically. The results are ...
متن کاملActive polar two-fluid macroscopic dynamics.
We study the dynamics of systems with a polar dynamic preferred direction. Examples include the pattern-forming growth of bacteria as well as shoals of fish, flocks of birds and migrating insects. Due to the fact that the preferred direction only exists dynamically, but not statically, the macroscopic variable of choice is the macroscopic velocity associated with the motion of the active units,...
متن کاملUnsteady boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid past a wedge with wall slip velocity
In this paper an analysis is presented to understand the effect of non–Newtonian rheology, velocity slip at the boundary, thermal radiation, heat absorption/generation and first order chemical reaction on unsteady MHD mixed convective heat and mass transfer of Casson fluid past a wedge in the presence of a transverse magnetic field with variable electrical conductivity. The partial differential...
متن کاملCFD-Calculation of Fluid Flow in a
An accurate description of the fluid flow and heat transfer within a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), for the safety analysis and reactor performance is always desirable. In this paper a mathematical model of the fundamental physical phenomena which are associated to a typical PWR is presented. The mathematical model governs the fluid dynamics in the reactor. Using commercial software CFX, a co...
