In this article fluid-structure interaction of vibrating composite piezoelectric plates is investigated. Since the plate is assumed to be moderately thick, rotary inertia effects and transverse shear deformation effects are deliberated by applying exponential shear deformation theory. Fluid velocity potential is acquired using the Laplace equation, and fluid boundary conditions and wet dynamic ...

The unidirectional oscillating flow of a viscoelastic fluid with the fractional Maxwell model is studied. The flow is produced by a periodic pressure gradient in an infinite straight pipe. Exact solutions are obtained in the time and frequency domains by using Fourier transform. The fractional Maxwell model exhibits resonance phenomena similar to that of the Maxwell model. However, the number o...

We propose a new method to study motions of mixtures in fluid interfaces. We extend the equations of equilibrium in interfaces and the results associated with traveling waves for van der Waals like fluids [21]. Maxwell rule is extended to interfaces of fluid mixtures out of equilibrium. Formulae like Clapeyron relation are obtained for isothermal layers.

The light-scattering spectrum for a Maxwell fluid in a steady state due to the presence of an external temperature gradient is computed. In such a fluid heat conduction is assumed to be governed by the classical Fourier law. The calculation is carried out through the use of fluctuating hydrodynamics. The effect of the non-Newtonian character of the fluid in the resulting spectrum is discussed.

Nanofluids are gaining much importance over the past decade due to their enhanced thermal conductivity, specific heat, cooling capacity, electrical conductivities. Novel properties of nanofluids are yet to be explored to the highest potential applications. One of the prominent applications of nanofluids is in thermal conduction. The presence of nanoparticle in a fluid can enhance the thermal co...
