Eigenvalue equations and expressions of EM fields for volume modes in an anisotropic single-negative slab with tensor material parameters is presented. By the comparison with the eigenvalue equation of surface modes along single-negative slab with negative scalar permeability, the validity of the present study is confirmed. We have also made clear which elements of the material parameter tensor...

Permeability is a key parameter associated with the characterization of any hydrocarbon reservoir. In fact, it is not possible to have accurate solutions to many petroleum engineering problems without having accurate permeability value. The conventional methods for permeability determination are core analysis and well test techniques. These methods are very expensive and time consuming. Therefo...

This study sought to determine whether the permeability related parameter K(trans), derived from computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging, can predict hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive intra-arterial thrombolysis. Data from patients meeting the criterion were examined. CTP was performed and K(trans) maps were used to assess the permeability va...

The active cooling of aerospace structures can be performed by the use of porous materials. It requires characterizing its permeability to predict the cooling efficiency by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics codes. The Darcian term is generally deduced experimentally from a relationship between the mass flow rate and the pressure drop through the porous media. Due to thermochemical process i...

Protons and sodium ions are the most commonly used coupling ions in energy transduction in bacteria and archaea. At their growth temperature, the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of thermophilic bacteria to protons is high compared with that of sodium ions. In some thermophiles, sodium is the sole energy-coupling ion. To test whether sodium is the preferred coupling ion at high temperat...

The slip effect on hydromagnetic rotating flow of viscous fluid through a porous space is investigated. The fluid is electrically conducting with the consideration of Hall current. The entire system rotates about the axis normal to a porous plate of uniform suction or injection with uniform angular velocity. The closed form solution is obtained using Laplace transform technique. The analytical ...

An analysis is carried out to study free convective flow and heat transfer of an viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet. Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using R-K Gill method along with shooting technique. Numerical results of the local of the local skin friction coefficient...

We investigate the effect of transverse magnetic field to heat and mass transfer flow in a channel filled with saturated porous medium with variable permeability and periodic suction. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using perturbation technique. The effects of velocity, temperature and concentration are studied for different magnetic Reynolds number, Schmidt number, suction par...

This paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the thermal instability of a thin layer of electrically conducting micropolar rotating fluid, heated from below in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field in porous medium. A dispersion relation is obtained for a flat fluid layer, contained between two free boundaries using a linear stability analysis theory, and normal mode analysi...
