April 10-15, 2016 Abstract Recent theoretical results are presented from our ongoing study investigating the distinct convective instability properties of the boundary-layer flow over rough rotating disks. In this study, radial anisotropic surface roughness (concentric grooves) is modelled using the partial-slip approach of Miklavčič & Wang (2004) and the surface-geometry approach of Yoon et. a...

Abstract The blood flow inside a tube with multi-thromboses is mathematically investigated. existence of these multiple thromboses restricts the in this and revamped by using catheter. This non-Newtonian problem modeled for Jeffrey fluid. energy equation includes notable effect viscous dissipation. We have calculated an exact solution developed mathematical governing equations. These equations ...

This research focuses on entropy generation rate per unit volume in magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection boundary layer flow of a viscous fluid over an inclined stretching sheet. Analysis has been performed in the presence of viscous dissipation and non-isothermal boundary conditions. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by an approp...

The present paper deals with a steady two-dimensional laminar flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a shrinking sheet in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field with viscous dissipation. Using suitable similarity transformations the governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically by...

The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of menisci, a capillary pressure proportional to surface curvature acts on the slug and streamlines are bent close to the interface, resulting in...

The following note shows that the symmetry of various resistance formulae, often based on Lorentz reciprocity for linearly viscous fluids, applies to a wide class of nonlinear viscoplastic fluids. This follows from Edelen's nonlinear generalization of the Onsager relation for the special case of strongly dissipative rheology, where constitutive equations are derivable from his dissipation poten...

We calculate static solutions of the 'GOY' shell model of turbulence and do a linear stability analysis. The asymptotic limit of large Reynolds numbers is analyzed. A phase diagram is presented which shows the range of stability of the static solution. We see an unexpected oscillatory dependence of the stability range upon lg , where is the viscosity. This eeect depends upon the discrete struct...

Abstract. We continue our analysis of the Cauchy problem for viscous system of conservation, under natural assumptions. We examine in which way does the existence time depend upon the viscous tensor B(u). In particular, we consider singular limits, where the rank of the symbol B(u; ξ) drops at the limit. This covers a lot of situations, for instance that of the limit of the Navier-Stokes-Fourie...

We study mixing of two fluids of different viscosity in a microfluidic channel or porous medium. We show that the synergetic action of alternating injection and viscous fingering leads to a dramatic increase in mixing efficiency at high Péclet numbers. Based on observations from high-resolution simulations, we develop a theoretical model of mixing efficiency that combines a hyperbolic mixing mo...
