In the present paper, we have studied MHD free convective two dimensional unsteady viscous incompressible flows through a porous effect bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate with constant suction. The permeability of the porous medium fluctuates in time about a constant mean, and the viscosity of fluid is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. The flow is permitted under th...

In thermal convection, coherent flow structures emerge at high Rayleigh numbers as a result of intrinsic hydrodynamic instability and self-organization. They range from small-scale thermal plumes that are produced near both the top and the bottom boundaries to large-scale circulations across the entire convective volume. These flow structures exert viscous forces upon any boundary. Such forces ...

A theoretical solution is presented for the forced convection heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid obeying the Giesekus constitutive equation in a concentric annulus under steady state, laminar, and purely tangential flow. A relative rotational motion exists between the inner and the outer cylinders, which induces the flow. A constant temperature was set in both cylinders, in this study. The f...

Potential flow over rotating cylinder is usually solved by the singularity method. However,in this paper a mathematical solution is presented for this problem by direct solution of the Laplace’sequation. Flow over the cylinder was considered non-viscous. Neumann and Dirichlet boundaryconditions were used on the solid surfaces and in the infinity, respectively. Because of non-viscous flow,the La...
