The lower solar atmosphere consists of partially ionized turbulent plasmas harbouring velocity field, magnetic field and current density fluctuations. The correlations amongst these small scale fluctuations give rise to large scale flows and magnetic fields which decisively affect all transport processes. The three fluid system consisting of electrons, ions and neutral particles supports nonide...

We consider the inverse mean curvature flow in RobertsonWalker spacetimes that satisfy the Einstein equations and have a big crunch singularity and prove that under natural conditions the rescaled inverse mean curvature flow provides a smooth transition from big crunch to big bang. We also construct an example showing that in general the transition flow is only of class C.

The rate of viscous energy dissipation in a shear layer of incompressible Newtonian fluid with injection and suction is studied by means of exact solutions, nonlinear and linearized stability theory, and rigorous upper bounds. The injection and suction rates are maintained constant and equal and this leads to solutions with constant throughput. For strong enough suction, expressed in terms of t...

The hydrodynamic and thermal lattice Boltzmann methods are applied to investigate the turbulent convective heat transfer in the wavy channel flows. In this study, the turbulent phenomena are modeling by large-eddy simulations with the Smagorinsky model. As a benchmark, the laminar and turbulent backward-facing step flows are simulated first. The results give good agreement with other numerical ...

introduction hydrograph of springs represents clearly all physical processes that control ground water flows inside aquifer (kuto et al., 2012: 41). study of the curve can reveal information about structure and function of aquifer, particularly hydrodynamic parameters including permeability and storage (troch et al., 1993: 228). analysis of recession curve has the advantage to calculate paramet...

Wall-bounded flows experience a transition to turbulence characterized by the coexistence of laminar and turbulent domains in some range of Reynolds number R, the natural control parameter. This transitional regime takes place between an upper threshold Rt above which turbulence is uniform (featureless) and a lower threshold Rg below which any form of turbulence decays, possibly at the end of o...

A parallel adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithm is proposed and applied to the predictions of both laminar and turbulent steady non-premixed compressible combusting flows. The parallel solution-adaptive algorithm solves the system of partial-differential equations governing two-dimensional axisymmetric laminar and turbulent compressible flows for reactive thermally perfect gaseous mixtures ...

The work on this theme will comprise a boundary layer analysis in channel flow. Here we will be looking at both the laminar and turbulent case of incompressible flow within the presence of shear stress and vorticity. This study for both cases is a very important concept to understand for boundary layers in channel flows. To accomplish this study, we used the Finite Element Method and Finite Vol...

Thermo-hydrodynamic performance of hydrodynamically and thermally developing single-phase flow in an array of rectangular mini-channels has been experimentally investigated. The array consists of fifteen rectangular parallel mini-channels of width 1.1±0.02 mm, depth 0.772±0.005 mm (hydraulic diameter 0.907 mm), inter-channel pitch of 2.0 mm, machined on a copper plate of 8.0 mm thickness and ha...
