A combined analytical, numerical, and experimental study of the traveling-wave wall mode in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is presented. No-slip top and bottom boundary conditions are used for the numerical computation of the linear stability, and the coefficients of the linear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation are then computed for various rotation rates. Numerical results for the no-slip ...

An optimal control problem with quadratic cost functional for the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations with no-slip boundary condition is considered. Lipschitz stability of locally optimal controls with respect to certain perturbations of both the cost functional and the equation is proved provided a second-order sufficient optimality condition holds. For a sufficiently small Reynolds number, e...

The effect of utilizing superhydrophobic walls on improving the convective heat transfer in a rectangular heatsink has been studied numerically in this paper. The vertical walls were kept at isothermal hot-and-cold temperatures and horizontal walls were insulated. The boundary condition on the walls was: no-slip for regular, and slip (with slip length of 500 µm) for superhydrophobic walls. By c...

mathematical model is developed for the time-dependent circular tube flow of compressible olymeric liquids subject to pressure-dependent slip at the wall and applied to a poly dimethyl iloxane PDMS . The parameters of pressure-dependent wall slip velocity and shear viscosity of he PDMS were determined using combinations of small-amplitude oscillatory shear, steady orsional and squeeze flows and...

Abstract—This paper presents a study on the effect of second-order slip on forced convection through a long isoflux heated or cooled planar microchannel. The fully developed solutions of flow and thermal fields are analytically obtained on the basis of the second-order Maxwell-Burnett slip and local heat flux boundary conditions. Results reveal that when the average flow velocity increases or t...

We simulate the impact of a viscous liquid drop onto a smooth dry solid surface. As in experiments, when ambient air effects are negligible, impact flattens the falling drop without producing a splash. The no-slip boundary condition at the wall produces a boundary layer inside the liquid. Later, the flattening surface of the drop traces out the boundary layer. As a result, the eventual shape of...
