Pulsating flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid between permeable beds

MHD Flow of the Micropolar Fluid between Eccentrically Rotating Disks

This analytical investigation examines the magnetohydrodynamic flow problem of an incompressible micropolar fluid between the two eccentrically placed disks. Employing suitable transformations, the flow governing partial differential equations is reduced to ordinary differential equations. An exact solution representing the different flow characteristic of micropolar fluid has been derived by s...

Peristaltic flow of a micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel

In this paper, we carry out a study of peristaltic motion of an incompressible micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel. The flow analysis has been developed for low Reynolds number and long wavelength case. Exact analytic solutions have been established for the axial velocity, microrotation component and stream function. Expression for the shear stresses are also obtained. The effects of pert...

Reflection and Transmission of Longitudinal Wave at Micropolar Viscoelastic Solid/Fluid Saturated Incompressible Porous Solid Interface

In this paper, the reflection and refraction of longitudinal wave from a plane surface separating a micropolar viscoelastic solid half space and a fluid saturated incompressible half space is studied. A longitudinal wave (P-wave) impinges obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios for various reflected and transmitted waves have been obtained. Then these amplitude ratios have been computed nu...

Dilute Granular Flow as a Micropolar Fluid

We show that a micropolar fluid model successfully describes granular flows on a slope. Micropolar fluid is the fluid with internal structures, and the coupling between the rotation of each particle and the macroscopic velocity field is taken into account; it is a hydrodynamical framework suitable for granular systems which consists of particles with macroscopic size. It is demonstrated that th...
