The nonaxisymmetric ‘kink-type’ Tayler instability (TI) of toroidal magnetic fields is studied for conducting incompressible fluids of uniform density between two infinitely long cylinders rotating around the same axis. The electric current flows within the gap between the cylinders is axial direction. For given Reynolds number of rotation the magnetic Prandtl number Pm of the liquid conductor ...

The problem of magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a semi-infinite unsteady stretching sheet is analyzed numerically. The problem was studied under the effects of Hall currents, variable viscosity, and variable thermal diffusivity. Using a similarity transformation, the governing fundamental equations are approximated b...

The hydromagnetic Couette flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid bounded by two infinite parallel non-conducting plates in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is studied on taking Hall currents into account. The relevant equations are solved analytically. The solution obtained shows that the inclusion of Hall currents gives some interesting results. It is...

The roll of melting heat transfer on magnetohydrodynamic natural convection in a square enclosure with heating of bottom wall is examined numerically in this article. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations are transformed into vorticity and stream function formulation and then solved using the finite difference method (FDM). The effects of thermal Rayleigh number (Ra</em...

We consider the linear stability of dissipative magnetic Taylor-Couette flow with imposed toroidal magnetic fields. The inner and outer cylinders can be either insulating or conducting; the inner one rotates, the outer one is stationary. The magnetic Prandtl number can be as small as 10(-5) , approaching realistic liquid-metal values. The magnetic field destabilizes the flow, except for radial ...

In the present study, an analytical investigation on the entropy generation examination for viscoelastic fluid flow involving inclined magnetic field and non-linear thermal radiation aspects with the heat source and sink over a stretching sheet has been done. The boundary layer governing partial differential equations were converted in terms of appropriate similarity transformations to non-line...

The augment of heat transfer and fluid of buoyancy-driven flow of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a square cavity under the influence of an external magnetic field is studied numerically. Cold temperature is applied on the side (vertical) walls and high temperature is imposed on the bottom wall while the top wall is kept at thermally insulated. The governing non-dimensional differential equations are ...

In the present research mixed convection flow through a copper-water nanofluid in a driven cavity in the presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically. The cavity is heated from top and cooled from bottom while its two vertical walls are insulated. The governing equations including continuity, N-S and energy equations are solved over a staggered grid system. The study is conducted for ...

Nanofluids are used as coolants in heat transport devices like exchangers, radiators, and electronic cooling systems (like a flat plate) because of their improved thermal properties. The preeminent perspective this study is to highlight the influence combined convection on transfer pseudoplastic non-Newtonian nanofluid flow towards an extendable Riga surface. Buongiorno model incorporated prese...

The article solves the Jeffery–Hamel flow with analytically method and the effect of external magnetic field is studied. The traditional Navier-Stoks equation of fluid mechanics and Maxwell’s electromagnetism governing equations reduce to nonlinear ordinary differential equations to model this problem. Differential transformation is applied in order to obtain analytical solution of the governin...
