The peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid with variable viscosity through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel is investigated. The channel asymmetric is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on thewall of different amplitude and phase. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations for the Jeffrey fluid model are derived in Cartesian coordinates system. Analytic solutions f...

We present and analyze a linearly implicit finite-difference scheme for computing approximate solutions and interface curves for the porous medium equation in one space variable. Our scheme requires only that linear, tridiagonal systems of equations be solved at each time step. We derive error bounds for the approximate interface curves as well as for the approximate solutions under the rather ...

Laminar free convection flow of viscous, incompressible fluid with variable viscosity and viscous dissipation through two horizontal parallel walls embedded in a porous medium is studied. Arrhenius model is used in which the variable viscosity is used to be decreasing exponentially with temperature. An approximation technique is defined to obtain the solution of the coupled non-linear equations...

water alternating gas (wag) technique is used in the petroleum industry to inject carbon dioxide (co2) into underground formations either for sequestration or enhanced oil recovery (eor) processes. co2 injection causes reactions with formation brine or aquifer and produces carbonic acid, the acid dissolves calcite and changes flow behavior significantly. modeling and investigating effects of co...

steady hydromagnetic couette flow of class-ii of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium in a rotating system taking hall current into account is investigated. heat transfer characteristics of the fluid flow are considered taking viscous and joule dissipations into account. it is noticed that there exists flow separation at the moving plate in the sec...

Variable-temperature hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe NMR spectroscopy has been employed to characterize surface properties of mesoporous MCM-41 modified by silylation treatment. The characteristic chemical shifts responsible for Xe-surface interactions exhibit strong correlations with both the surface coverage and chain length of the grafted alkylsilanes. Consequently, the deshielding medium contribu...

in this paper, the combined effect of suspended (fine dust) particles and rotation on the onset of thermosolutal convection in an elastico-viscous fluid in a porous medium is studied. for the porous medium, the brinkman model is employed and rivlin-ericksen model is used to characterize viscoelastic fluid. by applying normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and sol...

The study of double-diffusive convection has received considerable attention during the last several decades since this occurs in a wide range of natural settings. The origins of these studies can be traced to oceanography when hot salty water lies over cold fresh water of a higher density resulting in double-diffusive instabilities known as “salt-fingers,” Stern (35; 36). Typical technological...
