The double-diffusive convection in a compressible couple-stress fluid layer heated and soluted from below through porous medium is considered in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For stationary convection, the compressibility, stable solute gradient, magnetic field, and coup...

An analysis of peristaltic flow of a couple-stress fluid, with immersed nanoparticles, in an asymmetric channel having flexible walls is presented in this paper. General boundary conditions on velocity, temperature and concentration of nanoparticles are used for the analysis. Thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion effects govern the motion of nanoparticles. Long wave length approximation and low...

A systematic analysis of the dynamic behavior of a gear-bearing systemwith nonlinear suspension, couple-stress fluid flow effect, nonlinear oil-film force, and nonlinear gear mesh force is performed in the present study. The dynamic orbits of the system are observed using bifurcation diagrams plotted using the dimensionless rotational speed ratio as a control parameter. The onset of chaotic mot...

This article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional flow of couple stress nanofluid subject to the convective boundary condition. Flow is generated due to a nonlinear stretching of the surface in two lateral directions. Temperature and nanoparticles concentration distributions are studied through the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. Couple stress fluid is consid...
