In this paper we are concerned with the solutions of the differential equation f ′′′+ ff ′′+g(f ′) = 0 on [0,∞), satisfying the boundary conditions f(0) = α, f ′(0) = β ≥ 0, f ′(∞) = λ, and where g is some given continuous function. This general boundary value problem includes the Falkner-Skan case, and can be applied, for example, to free or mixed convection in porous medium, or flow adjacent ...

This paper explores the use of nonparallel adjoint methods to predict the receptivity of two and three-dimensional boundary layers. Solutions obtained from both adjoint Navier–Stokes (ANS) and adjoint parabolized stability equations (APSE) have been validated against linearized Navier–Stokes (LNS) solutions that provide a full description of the linear receptivity process. The adjoint methods a...

Mechoris ursulus (Roelofs) (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) is a pest weevil of Fagaceae oak trees in eastern Asia. The female has a distinct branch-cutting behavior in conjunction with oviposition in the acorns of its host plant. This study analyzed the factors influencing oviposition preference by carrying out continuous field surveys over the course of 2009-2010 and through laboratory rearing. The ...

The cardiovascular disease is one of most frequent cause deaths in modern society. The objective of this work is analyse the effect of dynamic vascular geometry (curvature, torsion, bifurcation) and pulsatile blood nature on secondary flow, wall shear stress and platelet deposition. The problem was examined as multi-scale physical phenomena using perturbation analysis and numerical modelling. T...

The efficient heat transfer performance of hybrid nanofluid making the fluid crucial in many industrial applications like exchangers, nuclear reactors, automotive cooling systems, and most manufacturing processes. This study aims to uncover properties an unsteady Falkner-Skan flows over a nonlinear moving wedge with convective boundary condition. water-based that is considered this research com...

BACKGROUND The pressure drop-flow relations in myocardial bridges and the assessment of vascular heart disease via fractional flow reserve (FFR) have motivated many researchers the last decades. The aim of this study is to simulate several clinical conditions present in myocardial bridges to determine the flow reserve and consequently the clinical relevance of the disease. From a fluid mechanic...
