The Cauchy problem for one-dimensional flow of a compressible viscous heat-conducting micropolar fluid is considered. It is assumed that the fluid is thermodynamically perfect and polytropic. A corresponding initial-boundary value problem has a unique strong solution on ]0, 1[×]0, T [, for each T > 0. By using this result we construct a sequence of approximate solutions which converges to a sol...

Computational and mathematical models provide an important compliment to experimental studies in the development of solar energy engineering in case of electro-conductive magnetic micropolar polymers. Inspired by further understanding the complex fluid dynamics of these processes, we examine herein the non-linear steady, hydromagnetic micropolar flow with radiation and heat source/sink effects ...

The present paper deals with the study of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics occurring during the melting process due to a stretching surface in micropolar fluid with thermal radiation. A uniform magnetic field is applied normal to surface. The governing equations representing fluid flow have been transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformati...

The paper presents an analytical solution for dispersion of a solute in the peristaltic motion of a micropolar fluid in the presence of both homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. The average effective dispersion coefficient has been found using Taylor’s limiting condition under long wavelength approximation. The effects of various relevant parameters on the average coefficient of di...

Blow-up criteria of smooth solutions for the 3D micropolar fluid equations are investigated. Logarithmically improved blow-up criteria are established in the Morrey-Campanto space.

Two dimensional steady, laminar and incompressible motion of a micropolar fluid between an impermeable disk and a permeable disk is considered to investigate the influence of the Reynolds number and the micropolar structure on the flow characteristics. The main flow stream is superimposed by constant injection velocity at the porous disk. An extension of Von Karman’s similarity transformations ...

In this paper is presented the model of an incompressible micropolar fluid flow with slip using the initial and boundary conditions when the wall velocity is considered depending on the frequency of the vibration. Regarding the boundary conditions of the velocity at the wall, we remark that there is a discontinuity of the velocity at the fluid-wall interface. The solutions for velocity and micr...
