Peristaltic transport of a fluid in channels has been a subject of great interest for the last four decades. Such interest is motivated by several applications of peristaltic flows in engineering and industry. In animals and human bodies, the physiological fluids pumped by the muscular oscillations which correspond to peristaltic activity. In particular, the flow of blood through arteries and v...

background: to determine the morphological specifications of the bird schistosomes cercaria from lymnaea gedrosiana and to detect the surface carbohydrates as receptors for host lectins in the host-parasite relationship systems such as avian schistosomiasis and human cercarial dermatitis. methods: one hundred ninety two snails collected from dezful areas in khuzestan province, in the south west...

This study was performed  in second half of year 2009.For bird counting , monthly from Septamber until March 2009. Total counted birds in Maroon lake were (971). Maximum number of counted birds was in February  (191) and minimum of counted was in Septamber (95). Total counted birds in Jaizan were (385. Maximum number of the counted bird was in February (84) and minimum of counted (52) was in Ja...

In this paper, a symmetry particle method, the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPHs) method, is extended to deal with non-Newtonian fluids. First, the viscous liquid is modeled by a non-Newtonian fluid flow and the variable viscosity under shear stress is determined by the Carreau-Yasuda model. Then a pressure correction method is proposed, by correcting density error with individual stiffness...

Correlations for the Nusselt number fully-developed laminar flow of Carreau fluids through circular pipe subject to a uniform heat flux have been sought. Based on mathematical expression, could be obtained by numerical integration. To evaluate many conditions, an efficient integration method has proposed. Using different material constants and improved correlation The proposed reduce maximum er...

In the present study, the potency and immunogenicity of the inactivated bivalent vaccine of Newcastle disease (ND) and avian influenza (AI) produced by Razi institute in Iran were compared with a similar imported vaccine administered by standard methods to specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken. A total of 150 twenty-one-day-old SPF chickens were used for evaluating Razi and imported inactivated ...

In this work, the fluid flow over a 2D backward-facing step is analyzed in order to provide a case study for the use of different models for the blood dynamic viscosity in COMSOL Multiphysics. Three non-Newtonian models, as well as the Newtonian model are used to study the shear stresses and the reattachment length as a function of the fluid speed. The nonNewtonian models used in this study are...

Effect of arterial wall compliance on the invasive coronary diagnostic parameters for various severities of coronary stenoses was assessed. The Mooney-Rivlin model was used to define the non-linear properties of the arterial wall and the plaque regions. The nonNewtonian viscosity of blood was modeled using the Carreau model. A finite element method was employed to solve the pulsatile fluid (blo...
