A note on the flow of a homogeneous intrusion into a two-layer fluid
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intrusion of a constant density fluid at the interface of a two-layer fluid is considered. Numerical solutions are computed for a model of a steady intrusion resulting from flow down a bank and across a broad lake or reservoir. The incoming fluid is homogeneous and spreads across the lake at its level of neutral buoyancy. Solutions are obtained for a range of different inflow angles, flow rate and density differences. Except in extreme cases, the nature of the solution is predicted quite well by linear theory, with the wavelength at any Froude number given by a dispersion relation and wave steepness determined largely by entry angle. However, some extreme solutions with rounded meandering flows and non-unique solutions in the parameter space are also obtained.

Exploration of the Significance of Autocatalytic Chemical Reaction and Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux on the Dynamics of a Micropolar Fluid
During the homogeneous-heterogeneous autocatalytic chemical reaction in the dynamics of micropolar fluid, relaxation of heat transfer is inevitable; hence Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is investigated in this report. In this study, radiative heat flux through an optically thick medium is treated as nonlinear due to the fact that thermal radiation at low heat energy is distinctly different f...

متن کاملTwo-fluid Electrokinetic Flow in a Circular Microchannel (RESEARCH NOTE)
The two-fluid flow is produced by the combined effects of electroosmotic force in a conducting liquid and pressure gradient force in a non-conducting liquid. The Poisson-Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations are solved analytically; and the effects of governing parameters are examined. Poiseuille number increases with increasing the parameters involved. In the absence of pressure gradient, the ...

In the present analysis, we study the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid near the two-dimensional stagnation-point flow over a stretching surface. The effects of variable thickness and radiation are also taken into account and assumed that the sheet is non-flat. Using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations are first converted to ordin...

The problem of two-phase MHD boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet with fluid-particle suspension and thermal radiation has been studied. The effect of mass transfer in dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is considered for the first time. The governing equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations under suitable similarity transforma...
