Steady two dimensional MHD stagnation point flow of a power law fluid over a stretching surface is investigated when the surface is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation point. The fluid impinges on the surface is considered orthogonally. Numerical and analytical solutions are obtained for different cases.

Growth of human population shows no signs of stagnation. The only small disturbance is identified as being probably associated with the coinciding impacts of five demographic catastrophes. The concept of the Epoch of Malthusian Stagnation is convincingly contradicted by empirical evidence.

Introduction. This announcement deals with the subject of continuous flows in the Euclidean plane. I t has long been known (cf. [ l]) tha t every closed set in the plane is the invariant set of some continuous flow. In a recent paper [2], this author has shown that the same statement is not true for flows all of whose orbits are closed in the plane. In fact a necessary and sufficient condition ...

We present an alternative model for the formation of fast low-ionization emission regions (FLIERs) in planetary nebulae that is able to account for many of their attendant characteristics and circumvent the problems on the collimation/formation mechanisms found in previous studies. In this model, the section of the stellar wind flowing along the symmetry axis carries less mechanical momentum th...

The drinking water quality changes during the transport through distribution systems. Domestic drinking water systems (DDWSs), which include the plumbing between the water meter and consumer's taps, are the most critical points in which water quality may be affected. In distribution networks, the drinking water temperature and water residence time are regarded as indicators of the drinking wate...

Stagnant atmospheric conditions can lead to hazardous air quality by allowing ozone and particulate matter to accumulate and persist in the near-surface environment. By changing atmospheric circulation and precipitation patterns, global warming could alter the meteorological factors that regulate air stagnation frequency. We analyze the response of the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Air S...

We investigate the stability of steady planar stagnation flows of a dilute polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution using T-shaped microchannels. The precise flow rate control and well-defined geometries achievable with microfluidic fabrication technologies enable us to make detailed observations of the onset of elastically-driven flow asymmetries in steady flows with strong planar elongational charac...

the production of shear flow profile in a wind tunnel test-section with the aid of in-plain horizontal wire-grids is explained. the design procedure with experimental results are given. it is concluded that the deepest shear, produced by this procedure, cannot have a slope of more than 1.777. it is shown that the stagnation streamlines in a shear flow will be displaced due to the existence of s...
