In this work, variation of parameter method is applied to study two-dimensional flow of nanofluid in a porous channel through slowly deforming walls with suction or injection. The results of the developed approximate analytical solution using the variation of parameter method is verified with the results of numerical solution using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method coupled with shooing techniques...

Developing accurate wall functions for LES is a great challenge. This is indeed also the case also for RANS. It can be argued that it should be easier to develop accurate wall functions for LES than for RANS. In a well-resolved LES using wall functions, the task of the wall function is to give an instantaneous wall shear stress; this does probably not need to be exactly correct. Compare with in...

AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between coronary flow reserve and the recovery of wall motion contractility in patients with recent myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen patients (55 +/- 8 years) undergoing balloon angioplasty for recent myocardial infarction were studied. After angioplasty, coronary flow reserve was lower in the infarct-related arter...

Pulsatile flow inside a moderately elastic circular conduit with a smooth expansion is studied as a model to understand the influence of wall elasticity in artery flow. The solution of the simultaneous fluid-wall evolution is evaluated by a perturbative method, where the zeroth order solution is represented by the flow in a rigid vessel; the first order correction gives the wall motion and indu...

mixed convection is a fundamentally significant heat transfer mechanism that occurs in selection industrial and technological applications. in this study, first the laminar mixed convection inside rectangular enclosure with moving wall and aspect ratio=10 is modeled and then the results are compared with other investigate. after showing varity of results, the investigation is continued with tur...

It has been suggested that poststenotic weakening of arterial walls is caused by arterial wall vibration and structural fatigue initiated by pressure disturbances in turbulent blood flow. We examined the frequency spectra of wall vibration downstream from experimental arterial stenoses and compared them with the natural resonant vibration characteristics of the artery walls. Spectra of arterial...

In this paper, the effect of cold air on the fluid flow inside the cylindrical combustion chamber and its wall temperature distribution have been studied computationally, taking into account the effect of radiative heat transfer from hot gases. The results have been compared with the case that radiative heat transfer was neglected. It is observed that the reattachment length increases when incr...

River bed sand and gravel are utilized more than mountain materials due to their availability and closeness to the transit roads and sites of usage. Excessive and non-technical extraction of gravel and sand bring a kind of interference in them, leading to many negative consequences. Therefore, presenting solutions to reduce these impacts and infilling mining pits are essential. In this researc...

Numerical predictions of blood flow patterns and hemodynamic stresses in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) are performed in a two-aneurysm, axisymmetric, rigid wall model using the spectral element method. Homogeneous, Newtonian blood flow is simulated under steady conditions for the range of Reynolds numbers 10 < or =Re < or =2265. Flow hemodynamics are quantified by calculating the distributi...

We consider a viscous incompressible fluid filling an infinite horizontal domain bounded at the bottom by a plane wall and at the top by a rough wall. The latter is assumed to consist of a plane wall covered with periodically distributed asperities which size depends on a small parameter ε > 0. The assumption of sharp asperities is made, that is the height of the asperities does not vanish as ε...
