The motion of a rotating helical body in a viscoelastic fluid is considered. In the case of force-free swimming, the introduction of viscoelasticity can either enhance or retard the swimming speed and locomotive efficiency, depending on the body geometry, fluid properties, and the body rotation rate. Numerical solutions of the Oldroyd-B equations show how previous theoretical predictions break ...

This article explores the heat and mass transfer behaviour of magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow past a permeable vertical rotating cone and a plate filled with gyrotactic microorganisms in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation, thermo diffusion and diffusion thermo effects. We presented dual solutions for the flow over a rotating cone and a rotating flat plate cases. Similarity var...

Using the continuation method we prove that the circular and the elliptic symmetric periodic orbits of the planar rotating Kepler problem can be continued into periodic orbits of the planar collision restricted 3–body problem. Additionally, we also continue to this restricted problem the so called “comets orbits”.

We investigate, by means of computer simulations, shapes of nonconvex bodies that maximize resistance to their motion through a rarefied medium, considering that bodies are moving forward and at the same time slowly rotating. A two-dimensional geometric shape that confers to the body a resistance very close to the theoretical supremum value is obtained, improving previous results.

Large-scale planetary or stellar magnetic fields generated by a dynamo effect are mostly attributed to flows forced by buoyancy forces in electrically conducting fluid layers. However, these large-scale fields may also be controlled by tides, as previously suggested for the star τ -boo, Mars or the Early Moon. By simulating a small local patch of a rotating fluid, Barker & Lithwick (2014) have ...

this study introduces the differential transform method (dtm) to analyse the free vibration response of a rotating, closed section, composite, timoshenko beam which features material coupling between flapwise bending and torsional vibrations due to ply orientation. the governing differential equations of motion are derived using hamilton’s principle and solved by applying dtm. the natural frequ...

The purpose of this research is to provide data from ferrofluid flow and torque measurements in uniform and nonuniform rotating magnetic fields that can be compared to theoretical analyses in order to fully understand observed paradoxical ferrofluid behavior. In the presence of rotating magnetic fields, ferrofluid particles will rotate to try to align their magnetic moment with the field but be...
