We consider the problem of blood flow in an artery and in the presence of an overlapping stenosis, which is also assumed to have an axisymmetric shape. The blood flow in the arterial tube is assumed to be a suspension of red cells in plasma. The present formulation makes use of the variable fluid viscosity modeling that takes into account the amount of red cells in the blood fluid flow system. ...

The present paper is concerned with the analysis of inherent irreversibility in hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of variable viscosity fluid over a semi-infinite flat plate under the influence of thermal radiation and Newtonian heating. Using local similarity solution technique and shooting quadrature, the velocity and temperature profiles are obtained numerically and utilized to compute the e...

A boundary layer analysis is presented for the mixed convection past a vertical plate in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid in the presence of variable viscosity effect. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of similar equations and solved numerically by an efficient, implicit, iterative, finite-difference method. A parametric study illustrating the inf...

Stokes equations have been used in numerical simulations of geodynamic processes such as mantle convection , lithospheric deformation and lava flow, etc. In order to implement a solver for these equations, multigrid method is introduced to our solve. Multigrid method is commonly used in reducing the iteration steps for solving the elliptic partial differential equation with the ill-conditioned ...

A quadratic B-spline finite element method for the spatial variable combined with a Newton method for the time variable is proposed to approximate a solution of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers (BBMB) equation. Two examples were considered to show the efficiency of the proposed scheme. The numerical solutions obtained for various viscosity were compared with the exact solutions. The numerical resul...

A model with flat FRW symmetries and G and Λ, variable is considered in such a way that the momentum-energy tensor that describes the model is characterized by a bulk viscosity parameter. For this tensor the conservation principle is taken into account. In this paper it is showed how to apply the dimensional method in order to solve the outlined equations in a trivial way. Keywords— Odes, AD, F...

[1] The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission was launched in March 2002 and has an expected 5-year lifetime. One potential application of GRACE measurements of time-variable gravity will be to isolate the postglacial rebound signal, which can then be used to estimate the Earth’s viscosity structure. In this paper we present a sensitivity analysis of simulated GRACE ...
