We study the compression driven magnetic reconnection in the relativistic electron-positron plasma. Making use of a 2.5D particle-in-cell code, we simulated compression of a magnetized plasma layer containing a current sheet within it. We found that the particle spectrum within the reconnecting sheet becomes nonthermal; it could be approximated by a power-law distribution with an index of -1 an...

We study the MHD boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a continuously stretching sheet using more suggestive schemes. The fast convergent Dirichlet series solution of governing nonlinear differential equation of MHD flow over nonlinear stretching sheet is obtained. This method has advantages over pure numerical methods in obtaining the derived quantities accurately for var...

The evolution of a thin viscous layer is usually smooth. Here we conduct an experiment where the layer adopts a singular shape. Using the analogy between the flow of a viscous liquid and the deformation of an elastic solid, the theoretical analysis predicts a conical shape for the sheet and is in quantitative agreement with the experiment.

The steady three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid towards a stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions is investigated by using similarity solution approach. The free stream along z-direction impinges on the stretching sheet to produce a flow with different velocity components. The governing equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations b...

‎in the present analysis‎, ‎we study the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid near the two-dimensional stagnation-point flow over a stretching surface‎. ‎the effects of variable thickness and radiation are also taken into account and assumed that the sheet is non-flat‎. ‎using suitable transformations‎, ‎the governing partial differential equations are first converted to ordin...
