A single point viscosity measurement has been proven meaningless in determining the rheological and application properties of a paint. Paints having the same “one point“ viscosity can hove different settling, sag, and leveling properties. These rheological differences are graphically depicted by means of viscosity profiles obtained through the use of low and high shear rate viscometers. A metho...

The effect of temperature-dependent viscosity on heat transfer over a continuous moving surface with variable internal heat generation in micropolar fluids is studied. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as inverse linear function of temperature. The governing equations are transformed into dimensionless forms using the stream function and suitable variables then solved numerically using the...

The Shape–from–Shading models in image analysis lead to first order Hamilton– Jacobi equations which may have several weak solutions (in the viscosity sense). Moreover, for real images, these equations are highly discontinuous in the space variable. The lack of uniqueness and the irregularity of the coefficients involve some troubles when we try to compute a solution. In order to avoid these di...

The effectiveness of a proportional feedback control to suppress the Marangoni instability in a variable-viscosity fluid layer with a deformable free upper surface is investigated. Viscosity variation and deformable free surface have destabilizing effects on the stability limit. The stability thresholds for the short-scale mode are strongly dependent on viscosity variation and controller gain w...

This paper studies unsteady laminar flow of dusty conducting fluid between parallel porous plates with temperature dependent viscosity. The fluid is acted upon by a constant pressure gradient and an external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plates. The parallel plates are assumed to be porous and subjected to a uniform suction from above and injection from below. The visco...

Abstract The work presents a general strategy to design high-order conservative co-located finite-difference approximations of viscous/diffusion terms for flows featuring extreme variations diffusive properties. proposed scheme becomes equivalent central derivatives with corresponding order in the case uniform flow properties, while variable viscosity/diffusion conditions it grants strong prese...
