Abstract The present paper analyzes an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic blood flow model of visco-elastic fluid through inclined porous stenosed artery with body acceleration and slip effect. Navier-Stokes equations have been used to describe the model. governing equation is solved by analytic method considering as incompressible, fluid, suspension RBC’s in plasma. Axial velocity, acceleration, rat...

This work presents the dynamic modeling of an untethered electromagnetically actuated magnetic micro-robot, and compares computer simulations to experimental results. The micro-robot, which is composed of neodymium-iron-boron with dimensions 250 μm x 130 μm x 100 μm, is actuated by a system of 5 macro-scale electromagnets. Periodic magnetic fields are created using two different control methods...

We demonstrate a reduction in the measured inner wall shear stress in moderately turbulent Taylor-Couette flows by depositing sprayable superhydrophobic microstructures on the inner rotor surface. The magnitude of reduction becomes progressively larger as the Reynolds number increases up to a value of 22% at Re=8.0×10(4). We show that the mean skin friction coefficient C(f) in the presence of t...

The motion of a single bead on an inclined "line" made up of juxtaposed identical beads is analytically investigated. Initially, an entirely analytical method is presented in some detail: the problem is tractable with the usual analytical tools as long as any slip motion is ignored. Under these conditions, we show I) the existence of a steady regime within a certain range of line slopes and it)...

We re-investigated the surface deformation of the Kleifarvatn earthquake on Reykjanes Peninsula, an event that was dynamically triggered by a moderatesize magnitude 6.5 earthquake 80 km away on 17 June 2000. Two ERS-2 interferograms from descending and ascending tracks were formed and used in combination with campaign GPS measurements to invert for the source parameters of rectangular faults fo...

[1] The 2006 Mw7.0 Mozambique (Machaze) normal-faulting earthquake ruptured an unusually steeply dipping fault plane ( 75°). The amount of slip in the earthquake decreased from depths of 10 km toward the surface, and this shallow slip deficit was at least partly recovered by postseismic afterslip on the shallow part of the fault plane. An adjacent normal fault segment slipped postseismically (a...

The problem of transient growth in the distortion of driven contact lines has recently sparked a controversy as to whether this mechanism can provide an alternative route to pattern formation in the absence of linear instability. To resolve the disagreement between previous studies we conduct a generalized linear stability analysis of different lubrication models of gravity-driven spreading and...

This paper presents an incompressible two-dimensional heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid flow in a porous medium between two parallel plates with chemical reaction, Hall and ion slip effects. Let there be periodic injection or suction at the lower and upper plates and the nonuniform temperature and concentration at the plates are varying periodically with time...

A mathematical study on creeping flow of non-Newtonian fluids (power law model) through a nonuniform peristaltic channel, in which amplitude is varying across axial displacement, is presented, with slip effects included. The governing equations are simplified by employing the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The expressions for axial velocity, stream function, pressure gr...

In this paper a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is proposed for slip minimization and efficiency optimization for the induction motor. Two independent fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are implemented using ANFIS toolbox in Matlab Simulink environment. The first FLC is used to control the speed by taking the speed and the speed dervative as input to minimize the motor slip. The second FLC is used to ...
