The combined effects of nanoparticle and magnetic field on the nonlinear Jeffery-Hamel flow are analyzed in the present study. The basic governing equations are solved analytically to nonlinear ordinary differential equation using perturbation method together with a semi-numerical analytical technique called Hermite- Padé approximation. The obtained results are well agreed with that of the Adom...

In this study, effects of numerous physical quantities like dissipation, thermal radiation, and induced magnetic field on magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate is addressed. The non-dimensional multivariable governing equations are solved numerically by by means of Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The behavior of velocity, temperature and induced magnet...

Two concepts are advocated for the task specification and control of mechanical manipulators: 1) coding tasks in terms of velocity fields; 2) designing controllers so that the manipulator when under feedback control, interacts in an energetically passive manner with its physical environment. Based on these two concepts, a new passive velocity field controller (PVFC) is proposed which mimics the...

By modelling the average activity of large neuronal populations, continuum mean field models (MFMs) have become an increasingly important theoretical tool for understanding the emergent activity of cortical tissue. In order to be computationally tractable, long-range propagation of activity in MFMs is often approximated with partial differential equations (PDEs). However, PDE approximations in ...

The aim of this project is to investigate the influence of intersection configuration on spreading of contaminants from the vehicle traffic. Experiment was performed by physical modeling method. For crossroad in the shape of perpendicular X, we have measured the mean velocity and concentration field. The flow investigation has confirmed that within the area of corner vortexes the largest accumu...
