Boundary Layer Flow of Reiner-philippoff Fluids

Ahatract-An analysis is made of the boundary layer flow of Reiner-Philippoff fluids. This work is an extension of a previous analysis by Hansen and Na [A. G. Hansen and T. Y. Na, Similarity solutions of laminar, incompressible boundary layer equations of non-Newtonian fluids. ASME 67-WA/FE-2 presented at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting, November (1967)], where the existence of similar solutions ...

Influence of Afterbody and Boundary Layer on Cavitating Flow

The characteristics of a cavitation water tunnel test setup and the experiments of cavitation around different models are given in this paper. Models of test are formed from combination of head and variable length afterbody. The experiments are performed initially with the smooth head and then with the roughened head. Cavitation initiates both in the wake and after the head. If the nose of mode...

Numerical Solution of MHD of Boundary Layer Flow of Nanofluid Fluids Due to Porous Stretching Surface

In this study we have explored the numerical solution of MHD flow of an incompressible nanofluid towards a stretching surface. The obtained model of nonlinear partial differential equations is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations using an appropriate transformation. Shooting method is employed to solve the said system of boundary layer equations. Discussion of momentum, tempe...

Magnetohydrodynamic Boundary Layer Flow of Power-Law Fluids near a Suddenly Accelerated Flat Plate

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow near a flat plate suddenly set in motion has been studied for a particular class of non-Newtonian power-law fluids. Two different groups of transformations, namely linear group of transformation and a spiral group of transformation are used to derive similarity solutions of the present flow equations. The similarity solution is found in most general form. It i...
