Abstract. This paper studies the global existence and regularity of classical solutions to the 2D incompressible magneto-micropolar equations with partial dissipation. The magneto-micropolar equations model the motion of electrically conducting micropolar fluids in the presence of a magnetic field. When there is only partial dissipation, the global regularity problem can be quite difficult. We ...

A Theoretical analysis is carried out to study the boundary-layer flow over a continuously moving surface through an otherwise quiescent micropolar fluid. The transformed boundary-layer equations are solved numerically for a power-law surface velocity using the Keller-box method. The effects of the micropolar K and exponent m parameters on the velocity and microrotation field as well as on the ...

The unsteady free convection boundary layer flow of a thermo-micropolar fluid along a vertical plate has been investigated in this paper. The temperature of the plate is assumed to be oscillating about a mean temperature, w(x), with small amplitude . The governing boundary layer equations are analyzed using straight forward finite difference method. The effects of the material parameters such...

The present investigation analysis a problem of r­­­eflection and transmission at an interface of two micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media. The basic equations and constitutive relations for micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media for G-L theory are derived. The expressions for amplitude ratios corresponding to reflected and transmitted waves are derived analytically. The eff...

The effect of uniform distribution of internal heat generation on the linear stability analysis of the Benard-Marangoni convection in an Eringen’s micropolar fluids with feedback control is investigated theoretically. The upper free surface is assumed to be non-deformable and the lower boundary is taken to be rigid and isothermal with fixed temperature and spanvanishing boundaries. The eigenval...

In this paper, we carry out a study of peristaltic motion of an incompressible micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel. The flow analysis has been developed for low Reynolds number and long wavelength case. Exact analytic solutions have been established for the axial velocity, microrotation component and stream function. Expression for the shear stresses are also obtained. The effects of pert...

Two dimensional steady, laminar and incompressible motion of a micropolar fluid between an impermeable disk and a permeable disk is considered to investigate the influence of the Reynolds number and the micropolar structure on the flow characteristics. The main flow stream is superimposed by constant injection velocity at the porous disk. An extension of Von Karman’s similarity transformations ...

micropolar plasticity provides the capability to carry out post-failure simulations of geo-structures due to microstructural considerations and embedded length scale in its formulation. an essential part of the numerical implementation of a micropolar plasticity model is the integration of the rate constitutive equations. efficiency and robustness of the implementation hinge on the type of inte...

The goal of this manuscript is to set up a novel methodology for the calculation of the effective mechanical properties of biological membranes viewed as repetitive networks of elastic filaments, based on the discrete asymptotic homogenization method. We will show that for some lattice configurations, flexional effects due to internal structure mechanisms at the unit cell scale lead to addition...

Double-diffusive convection in a micropolar fluid layer heated and soluted from below in the presence of uniform rotation saturating a porous medium is theoretically investigated. An exact solution is obtained for a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries. To study the onset of convection, a linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been used. For the ...
