The thermal instability of a rotating Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field is considered. For the case of stationary convection, Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid behaves like a Newtonian fluid. It is found that rotation has a stabilizing effect, whereas the magnetic field has both stabilizing and destabilizing effects. Graphs have been plotted ...

The Rivlin-Ericksen model is one of the oldest models in fluid dynamics to describe non-Newtonian properties. comes with two independent transports at second order. In this paper, we study relativistic origin fluid. Starting from a Weyl invariant uncharged $3+1$ dimensions, reduce it over light-cone directions and obtain generic non-relativistic lower dimension all possible order terms constitu...

The stability of stratified Rivlin-Ericksen fluid in porous medium in the presence of suspended particles and magnetic field has been investigated. Upon application of normal mode technique, the dispersion relation was obtained. The important results obtained in this paper include the instability of non-oscillatory modes and the stability of oscillatory modes. Also, it was found that the system...

We report the results of a theoretical study of the stability of a Couette flow of dilute and concentrated suspensions of stiff fibers. The Ericksen anisotropic fluid rheological equation of state in the wide-gap situation is used to compute the critical Taylor number and wavenumber of the suspension as a function of the aspect ratio of the fibers and the gap-width

We present a numerical method for solving two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal flows subject to a magnetic field. The dynamic equations of nematic liquid crystals are based on the Ericksen-Leslie dynamic theory. This theory accounts for fluid anisotropy and elastic stresses resulting from spatial distortion of the “director”, which is a vector field describing the local average molecular orie...

When a microorganism begins swimming from rest in a Newtonian fluid such as water, it rapidly attains its steady-state swimming speed since changes in the velocity field spread quickly when the Reynolds number is small. However, swimming microorganisms are commonly found or studied in complex fluids. Because these fluids have long relaxation times, the time to attain the steady-state swimming s...

in this paper, the combined effect of suspended (fine dust) particles and rotation on the onset of thermosolutal convection in an elastico-viscous fluid in a porous medium is studied. for the porous medium, the brinkman model is employed and rivlin-ericksen model is used to characterize viscoelastic fluid. by applying normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and sol...

This study analyzes the unsteady Rivlin-Ericksen fluid and irreversibility of exponentially temperature dependent variable viscosity of hydromagnetic two-step exothermic chemical reactive flow along the channel axis with walls convective cooling. The non-Newtonian Hele-Shaw flow of Rivlin-Erickson fluid is driven by bimolecular chemical kinetic and unvarying pressure gradient. The reactive flui...
