The analysis of mass and heat transfer in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows has significant applications exchangers, cooling nuclear reactors, designing energy systems casting injection processes different types fluids. On the other hand, extraction crude oil, flow human or animal blood, as well polymer fluids liquid crystals are just some examples micropolar fluid flows. Due to broad application...

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...

Linear relativistic anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic waves are investigated for an Imperfect fluid. Consideration is carried out for the plasma with finite bulk viscosity. Conditions for growth and decay of these waves are obtained in special cases of isotropy and ChewGoldberger-Low (CGL) state.

Recent work has shown a relationship between between the equations of Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD), used to model magnetic fusion laboratory experiments, and incompressible magnetoconvection (IMC), employed in the simulation of astrophysical fluid dynamics (AFD), which means that the two systems are mathematically equivalent in certain geometries. Limitations on the modelling of RMHD, wh...

In this chapter we introduce the fundamental concepts in Newtonian and complex fluid mechanics, beginning with the basic underlying assumptions in continuum mechanical modeling. The equations of mass and momentum conservation are derived, and the Cauchy stress tensor makes its first of many appearances. The Navier–Stokes equations are derived, along with their inertialess limit, the Stokes equa...

Theoretical approaches to low-frequencymagnetized turbulence in collisionless and weakly collisional astrophysical plasmas are reviewed. The proper starting point for an analytical description of these plasmas is kinetic theory, not fluid equations. The anisotropy of the turbulence is used to systematically derive a series of reduced analytical models. Above the ion gyroscale, it is shown rigou...

Much research effort has recently been devoted to the electromagnetic control of saltwater flows, exploiting the macroscopic interaction of saltwater with electric currents and magnetic fields. This interaction is governed by the equations of viscous incompressible MHD, essentially, the Navier-Stokes equations coupled to Maxwell’s equations. A major problem in the analysis and numerical solutio...

The dynamics of a propagating magnetic island interacting with a resistive wall or an externally generated, resonant magnetic perturbation is investigated using two-fluid, drift-smagnetohydrodynamicald sMHDd theory in slab geometry. In both cases, the island equation of motion is found to take exactly the same form as that predicted by single-fluid MHD theory. Three ion polarization terms are f...
