Mixed convection is the combination of a free caused by buoyancy forces due to different density and forced external that increase heat exchange rate. This means that, in convection, effect significant besides forces. In this study fluid type with viscoelastic non-Newtonian. The fluids pass over surface sphere form thin layer, which their dominant viscosity called border layer. obtained limitin...

The present paper deals with viscoelastic flows in a thin domain. In particular, we derive and analyse the asymptotic equations of the Stokes-Oldroyd system in thin films (including shear effects). We present a numerical method which solves the corresponding problem and present some related numerical tests which evidence the effects of the elastic contribution on the flow. Introduction. Much li...

In the present study, a numerical analysis is carried out to investigate unsteady MHD (magneto-hydrodynamic) flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian second grade viscoelastic fluid over an oscillatory stretching sheet. The flow is induced due to an infinite elastic sheet which is stretched oscillatory (back and forth) in its own plane. Effect of viscous dissipation and joule heating are taken...

We study transient growth in inertialess plane Couette and Poiseuille flows of viscoelastic fluids. For streamwise-constant three-dimensional fluctuations, we demonstrate analytically the existence of initial conditions that lead to quadratic scaling of both the kinetic energy density and the elastic energy with the Weissenberg number, We. This shows that in strongly elastic channel flows of vi...

Pulsatile blood flow in an aorta of normal subject is studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The main intention of this study is to determine the influence of the non-Newtonian nature of blood on a pulsatile flow through an aorta. The usual Newtonian model of blood viscosity and a nonNewtonian blood model are used to study the velocity distributions, wall pressure and wall s...

Surface distortions to an otherwise planar channel flow introduce vorticity perturbations. In Newtonian fluids, the induced by small surface undulations on lower wall is advected background and diffuses into fluid. When fluid viscoelastic, we identify new mechanisms which significant perturbations can be generated in both inertialess elasto-inertial flows. We focus case where lengthscale of dis...

In the past twenty years, shear-banding flows have been probed by various techniques, such as rheometry, velocimetry and flow birefringence. In micellar solutions, many of the data collected exhibit unexplained spatio-temporal fluctuations. Recently, it has been suggested that those fluctuations originate from a purely elastic instability of the flow. In cylindrical Couette geometry, the instab...

Attention is paid to a specific form of thermal convection which encompasses viscoelastic and thermovibrational effects in single problem or framework. The main objective understanding the relationship between phenomenon overstability periodic forcing through numerical solution governing equations their complete, time-dependent, nonlinear form. Fluid motion found for values control parameter on...

Background: The airway surface liquid (ASL), which is a ï‌‚uid layer coating the interior epithelial surface of the bronchi and bronchiolesis, plays an important defensive role against foreign particles and chemicals entering lungs.Objective: Numerical investigation has been employed to solve two-layer model consisting of mucus layer as a viscoelastic fluid and periciliary liquid layer as a New...

Accurate mathematical modelling of joints is directly related to the need to obtain a better fundamental understanding of the role that elements of the system have on the dynamic tribological behaviour of the component it represents. Simulation models also make a contribution towards reduction of the cost of in-situ experimentation in biotribological systems, as well as overcoming difficulties ...
