We investigate the fully developed flow between two parallel plates and the film flow over a plate in an electrically conducting fluid under the action of a parallel Lorentz force. The Lorentz force varies exponentially in the vertical direction due to low-fluid electrical conductivity and the special arrangement of the magnetic and electric fields at the lower plate. Exact analytical solutions...

In this paper we establish some new exact solutions regarding to the unsteady flow of a generalized Oldroyd-B fluid produced by a suddenly moved plate between two side walls perpendicular to the plate. The governing equation has been obtained through fractional calculus approach. Fourier sine transform and discrete Laplace transform have been used to obtained exact solutions. The solution of ve...

In this paper, nonlinear behavior of strengthened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) by FRP laminates theoretically and numerically has been investigated. In the first part, a new method, “the composite-plate frame Interaction (C-PFI) method”, has been introduced to predict the shear behavior of the composite steel plate shear wall systems (CSPSWs). In the second part, several models of one-story ...

The present paper analyzes the MHD effects on the steady free convective boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid over a linearly moving porous vertical semi-infinite plate with suction and viscous dissipation. The governing boundary layer equations are reduced to a two-point boundary value problem using similarity transformations. The resultant problem is solved numerically using ...

In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...

a transversely isotropic half-space with axis of material symmetry perpendicular to the free surface supports a flexible circular plate. the contact area of the plate and the half-space is considered to be both frictionless and unbonded (tensionless). the foundation is affected by a vertical static axisymmetric load. detailed analysis of the interaction of these two systems is the target of thi...

This paper revisits the classical problem of convectively driven one-dimensional (parallel) flow along an infinite vertical plate. We consider flows induced by an impulsive (step) change in plate temperature and by a sudden application of a plate heat flux. Provision is made for pressure work and vertical temperature advection in the thermodynamic energy equation, processes that are generally n...

A homogeneous thin plate often flutters while falling through a fluid under gravity. The center of gravity of the plate moves back-and-forth horizontally and the plate tilting angle oscillates symmetrically from the horizontal. Here we show that such a scenario is qualitatively changed for a plate with noncoinciding centers of gravity and buoyancy due to an inhomogeneous mass distribution. Mism...
