The behaviour of laminar boundary layer flow field over a solid surface moving with constant speed plays a significant role in several applications of science and technology. This paper examines the steady, laminar incompressible boundary-layer flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid past a moving wedge with suction (injection) in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The set of pa...

There are circumstances when the oxygen supply to an anaesthetic apparatus can fail. If this is not noticed immediately, the patient becomes anoxic. Many of the oxygen failure warning devices available at the present time only give a visual or audible signal of the failure and they rely on a second gas supply (usually nitrous oxide) and/or batteries for their operation (Falkner Hill, 1956; Hosp...

In this paper, the computational method (CM) based on standard polynomials has been implemented to solve some nonlinear differential equations arising in engineering and applied sciences. Moreover, novel methods have developed study by orthogonal base functions, namely Hermite, Legendre, Bernstein polynomials. The problem is successfully converted into a algebraic system of equations, which are...

Abstract The present work studies the effects of physical parameter characterizing laminar flow regime, namely Strouhal number, on evolution unsteady dynamic boundary-layer developed along a wedge surface. Similarity method is used to transform momentum equation dimensionless form. Using superposition between diffusion and convective flows solutions, an ad hoc velocity profile formula proposed....

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are successful machine-learning methods for the solution and identification of partial differential equations. We employ PINNs solving Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations incompressible turbulent flows without any specific model or assumption turbulence by taking only data on domain boundaries. first show applicability laminar Falkner–Skan boundary...

In the age of technology, it is vital to cool down different parts of a device to use it more beneficially. Using nanofluids is one of the most common methods which has shown very effective results. In this paper, we have rephrased a classic equation in fluid mechanics, i.e. the Falkner-Skan boundary layer equation, in order to be used for nanofluid. This nonlinear equation, which was presented...

In the present investigation, the magnetohydrodynamic Falkner-Skan flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluids over a stretching/shrinking wedge with variable suction, internal heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction with activation energy have been scrutinized. Nanofluid model is composed of “Brownian motion’’ and “Thermophoresis’’. Transformed non-dimensional coupled non-linear equations a...
