The classical motion of spinning particles can be described without recourse to particular models or special formalisms, and without employing Grassmann variables or Clifford algebras, but simply by generalizing the usual spinless theory. We only assume the invariance with respect to the Poincaré group; and only requiring the conservation of the linear and angular momenta we derive the zitterbe...

Pulsatile blood flow in an aorta of normal subject is studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The main intention of this study is to determine the influence of the non-Newtonian nature of blood on a pulsatile flow through an aorta. The usual Newtonian model of blood viscosity and a nonNewtonian blood model are used to study the velocity distributions, wall pressure and wall s...

The molecular structure of fluids composed of dendrimers of different generations is studied using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD). NEMD results for dendrimer melts undergoing planar Couette flow are reported and analyzed with particular attention paid to the shear-induced changes in the internal structure of dendrimers. The radii of gyration, pair distribution functions and the fracta...

The slip-flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian nanofluid in a microtube is theoretically studied. The power-law rheology is adopted to describe the non-Newtonian characteristics of the flow, in which the fluid consistency coefficient and the flow behavior index depend on the nanoparticle volume fraction. The velocity profile, volumetric flow rate and local Nusselt number are calculated for ...

This paper investigates the influence of melting and thermo-diffusion effect on natural convection heat and mass transfer from vertical flat plate in a non-Newtonian fluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration such that the heat and mass transfer occurs from the wall to the medium. The ...
