A theoretical investigation is performed for studying the flow of heat transfer characteristics of Sakiadis and Blasius flow of magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell fluid with thermal radiation. We also incorporated the Cattaneo-Chirstov heat flux model to control the heat transfer phenomena. Numerical solutions are carried out by using Shooting technique. The effects of various governing parameters on ...

introduction increasing the area of absorber plate between the flowed air through the duct can be accomplished by corrugating the absorber plate or by using the artificial roughness underside of the absorber plate as the commercial methods for enhancing the thermohydraulic performance of the flat plate solar air heaters. evaluation of this requires the construction of separated solar air heater...

The three-dimensional, algebraically growing instability of a Blasius boundary layer is studied in the nonlinear regime, employing a nonparallel model based on boundary layer scalings. Adjoint-based optimization is used to determine the “optimal” steady leading-edge excitation that provides the maximum energy growth for a given initial energy. Like in the linear case, the largest transient grow...

Experimental findings show that transition from laminar to turbulent flow may occur also if the exponentially growing perturbations, eigensolutions to the linearised disturbance equations, are damped. An alternative non-modal growth mechanism has been recently identified, also based on the linear approximation. This consists of the transient growth of streamwise elongated disturbances, with reg...

A temporal linear stability analysis of the asymptotic suction boundary layer is presented. For this, Orr–Sommerfeld equation solved in terms generalized hypergeometric functions. Together with corresponding conditions, an algebraic eigenvalue problem formulated. Thereof we derive continuous spectrum yielding a rather distinct if, for example, compared to one from Blasius solution. second key r...

A panel illustrating spinal cord injury in The Dying Lioness in the British Museum dates to 650 BC. This paper outlines the subsequent progression of knowledge of the anatomy of the spinal cord. The animal dissections of Galen are considered because his deductions persisted through the Dark Ages until the late 18th century. Anatomy advanced gradually to yield discoveries of the complex tracts a...

One of the simplest problems involving external vorticity in boundary layer flows is flow over a semi-infinite plate under stream uniform shear. We study transient growth phenomenon this to investigate role freestream shear on energy amplification and analyze differences with Blasius flow. The initial optimal disturbance that triggers maximum found be streamwise vortices, as other flows. Compar...
