The present study investigates the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics occurring during the melting process due to a stretching / shrinking surface in micropolar fluid. A uniform magnetic field is applied normally to the surface. The governing equations representing fluid flow were transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The equations...

This work focuses on the dynamical behavior of carbon nanotubes, including vibration, wave propagation and fluid-structure interaction. In the present research, transverse vibration of nano fluid conveying carbon nanotubes is investigated. To this end, based on the nonlocal and strain-inertia gradient continuum elasticity theories and by using rod and Euler-Bernoulli beam models, the system’s d...

An analysis has been carried out to obtain the free convective heat and mass transfer characteristics of an incompressible MHD viscoelastic fluid flow immersed in a porous medium of variable permeability bounded by an infinite porous vertical plate in slip flow regime in the presence of a transverse magnetic field with heat source and radiation effects. The permeability of the porous medium dec...

A similarity parameter for quasi-steady fluid flows advancing into horizontal capillary channels is presented. This parameter, which may be used to scale propellant feeding rates in microthrusters, can be interpreted as the ratio of the average fluid velocity in the capillary channel to a characteristic velocity of quasi-steady capillary flows. It allows collapsing a large data set of previousl...

A pure fluid at its critical point shows a dramatic slow-down in its dynamics, due to a divergence of the order-parameter susceptibility and the coefficient of heat transport. Under isothermal conditions, however, sound waves provide the only possible relaxation mechanism for order-parameter fluctuations. Here we study the critical dynamics of an isothermal, compressible nonideal fluid via scal...

We present a robust and computationally efficient parameter estimation strategy for fluid-structure interaction problems. The method is based on a filtering algorithm restricted to the parameter space, known as the reduced-order unscented Kalman filter. It does not require any adjoint or tangent problems. In addition, it can easily be run in parallel, which is of great interest in fluid-structu...

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

this article investigates the nonlinear, steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible eyring-powell non-newtonian fluid from an isothermal sphere with biot number effects. the transformed conservation equations are solved numerically subject to physically appropriate boundary conditions using a second-order accurate implicit finite-difference keller box technique. the influ...

Most critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU) require fluid administration for volume expansion at some point during their hospital stay.(1) In most cases, initial volume expansion does not require more sophisticated or invasive measures. Clinical history data and clinical signs of low flow may suggest the likelihood of a response to the initial fluid infusion. As suggested by Vinc...

Due to the poor conditions of wet brake cooling and the high temperature of the working characteristics, this paper intended to introduce the oil film vadose between the brake linings, considered the variation of volume of grooves on the friction plate, and then proposes the three-dimensional transient dynamic response of fluid-solid coupling mathematical model. By parameter analysis of the dis...
