alfvén waves dissipation is an extensively studied mechanism for the coronal heating problem. these waves can be generated by magnetic reconnection and propagated along the reconnected field lines. here, we study the generation of alfvén waves at the presence of both steady flow and sheared magnetic field in the longitudinally density stratified of solar spicules. the initial flow is assumed to...

In this paper, effects of EHD actuators on hydrodynamic behavior and heat transfer of air flow over a circular cylinder were considered. Pressure and temperature distributions around the cylinder were measured in presence of wire-plate EHD actuators. The Reynolds number based on cylinder diameter (d) were 3500, 7000. Experiments were performed for various configurations. Based on obtained resul...

The flow field associated with the passage of the turbulent spot in a 3–D duct with streamline divergence under zero pressure gradients was investigated and displayed as contour plots of the velocity perturbation in plan and elevation view of the spot. It suggests that, streamline divergence has no strong effect on the internal structure of the spot and eddies and their propagation in the downs...

The various industrial and engineering applications of flow of fluid between parallel plates have continued to generate renewed interests. In this work, a comparative study of approximate analytical methods is carried out using differential transformation,homotopy perturbation, Adomian decomposition, variation of parameter and variational iteration methods for the analysis of a steady two-dimen...

Potential flow over rotating cylinder is usually solved by the singularity method. However,in this paper a mathematical solution is presented for this problem by direct solution of the Laplace’sequation. Flow over the cylinder was considered non-viscous. Neumann and Dirichlet boundaryconditions were used on the solid surfaces and in the infinity, respectively. Because of non-viscous flow,the La...

In this work, the compound flow control method (passive and active) has been described. EHD actuators as wire-plate (active) and splitter plate (passive) were coupled and applied to control fluid flow and heat transfer around cylinder in cross flow. Investigation consists of the interaction between electric field, fluid flow and temperature field. Experimental tests included various positions o...
