We study the non–linear dynamics of self–gravitating irrotational dust in a general relativistic framework, using synchronous and comoving (i.e. Lagrangian) coordinates. All the equations are written in terms of a single tensor variable, the metric tensor of the spatial sections orthogonal to the fluid flow. This treatment allows an unambiguous expansion in inverse (even) powers of the speed of...

this paper presents the jeffery hamel flow of a non-newtonian fluid namely casson fluid. suitable similarity transform is applied to reduce governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a much simpler ordinary differential equation. variation of parameters method (vpm) is then employed to solve resulting equation. same problem is solved numerical by using runge-kutta order 4 method. a c...

In this paper, fractal calculus, which is called Fα-calculus, reviewed. Fractal calculus implemented on interpolation functions and Weierstrass functions, may be non-differentiable non-integrable in the sense of ordinary calculus. Graphical representations are presented.

rheological characteristics of al2o3, cuo and tio2 nano particles were investigated in oil asthe base fluid at 1 and 2 wt.%. constitutive relations for non-newtonian fluid were discussedbased on the power-law model. measured viscosities of each nanofluid were used to evaluatethe power-law and consistency index. results indicated that the nanofluid viscosity decreasedby increasing the concentrat...

an attempt is made for the first time to solve the quadratic and cubic model of magneto hydrodynamic poiseuille flow of phan-thein-tanner (ptt). series solution of magneto hydrodynamic (mhd) flow is developed by using homotopy perturbation method (hpm). results are presented graphically and the effects of non-dimensional parameters on the flow field are analyzed. the results obtained reveals ma...

In this work, the fluid flow over a 2D backward-facing step is analyzed in order to provide a case study for the use of different models for the blood dynamic viscosity in COMSOL Multiphysics. Three non-Newtonian models, as well as the Newtonian model are used to study the shear stresses and the reattachment length as a function of the fluid speed. The nonNewtonian models used in this study are...
