This paper deals with the two-dimensional incompressible, laminar, steady-state boundary layer equations.First, we determine a family of velocity distributions outside the boundary layer such that these problems may have similarity solutions.Then, We examine in detail new exact solutions, called Pseudo-similarity, where the external velocity varies inversely-linear with the distance in the x-di...

The purpose of this work is to study the effect of oscillatory MHD blood flow in stenosed artery. The analytical and numerical results are obtained for oscillatory MHD blood flow, which is assumed to be a Newtonian fluid. It was also assumed that the surface roughness is of cosine shaped and the maximum height of roughness is negligible, compared with the radius of un-constricted tube. The flui...

Tangential and normal velocity profiles of the boundary layer surrounding live swimming fish were determined by digital particle tracking velocimetry, DPTV. Two species were examined: the scup Stenotomus chrysops, a carangiform swimmer, and the smooth dogfish Mustelus canis, an anguilliform swimmer. Measurements were taken at several locations over the surfaces of the fish and throughout comple...

in this paper, the ritz-galerkin method in bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. the properties of the bernstein  polynomials together with the ritz-galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the mhd couette flow of non-newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...

Turbulence enhances the wall shear stress in boundary layers, significantly increasing drag on streamlined bodies. Other flow features such as free stream pressure gradients and streamwise layer growth also strongly influence local skin friction. In this paper, an angular momentum integral (AMI) equation is introduced to quantify these effects by representing them torques that alter shape of me...
