The present paper deals with the study of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics occurring during the melting process due to a stretching surface in micropolar fluid with thermal radiation. A uniform magnetic field is applied normal to surface. The governing equations representing fluid flow have been transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformati...

the main purpose of this paper is to introduce a boundary layer analysis for the fluid flow andheat transfer characteristics of an incompressible nanofluid flowing over a permeable isothermalsurface moving continuously. the resulting system of non-linear ordinary differential equations issolved numerically using the fifth–order runge–kutta method with shooting techniques usingmatlab and maple s...

An attempt has been made to investigate the wall shear stress, resistance parameter and flow rate across mild stenosis situated symmetrically on steady blood flow through blood vessels with uniform or non-uniform cross-section by assuming the blood to be Non-Newtonian, incompressible and homogeneous fluid. An analytic solution for Power law Fluid, Bingham Plastic fluid, Casson Fluid has been ob...

Fluid resuscitation is the first choice therapy for sepctic shock. However, fluid infusion only increases cardiac output in approximately 50 % of cases, while an excess of fluid can have harmful effects. Therefore, clinicians are looking for indices to predict the effect of fluid infusion on cardiac output, before giving fluid. In this work, a minimal mathematical model of the cardiovascular sy...

In this study prediction of the steady-state flow of branched polymer melts in pipe geometry with finite volume method is presented. Our analysis in this study revealed that;for normal-stress tqq , the XPP model can predict this tensor unlike the other viscoelastic models such as PTT or Gieskus which can not predict tqq...

A global nonlinear stability analysis is performed for a couple-stress fluid layer heated from below saturating a porous medium with temperature-pressure dependent viscosity for different conducting boundary systems. Here, the global nonlinear stability threshold for convection is exactly the same as the linear instability boundary. This optimal result is important because it shows that lineari...

The present paper deals with the study of thermal radiation effect on unsteady flow and heat transfer characteristics of viscous fluid with variable viscosity over a porous stretching sheet placed in a porous medium in the presence of viscous dissipation. A uniform magnetic field is applied transversely to the direction of the flow. Similarity transformations are used to convert the governing t...

The effects of radiative heat transfer on the fully developed free convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid-saturated porous medium between two vertical walls in the presence of a uniform gravitational field have been studied. An exact solution of the governing equations has been obtained. Radiation is found to have significant effects on the velocity field and temperature distribution...
