Abstract A Taylor–Galerkin finite element time marching scheme is derived to numerically simulate the flow of a compressible and nonisothermal viscoelastic liquid between eccentrically rotating cylinders. Numerical approximations governing constitutive equations are computed over custom refined unstructured grid piecewise linear Galerkin elements. An original extension DEVSS formulation for flu...

Starting from the gravitational potential of a Newtonian spheroidal shell we discuss electrically charged rotating prolate spheroidal shells in the Maxwell theory. In particular we consider two confocal charged shells which rotate oppositely in such a way that there is no magnetic field outside the outer shell. In the Einstein theory we solve the Ernst equations in the region where the long pro...

After undergoing a manufacturing process, materials may exhibit internal stresses referred to as residual stresses. In steel-composite hybrid structures, residual stresses are typically formed due to the unequal thermal behaviour of the steel and composite. Thus, knowledge of the residual stress state is important in the assessment of the external-internal loading in steel-composite hybrid stru...

We study the response of magnetic nanoparticle suspensions (ferrofluids) to uniform rotating magnetic fields generated by a two-pole three-phase magnetic induction motor stator winding. Measurements of the torque required to rotate a polycarbonate spindle submerged in ferrofluid subjected to co-rotating and counter-rotating fields yield experimental observations of negative magnetoviscosity in ...
