New analytic solutions for unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows of a generalized second-grade fluid have been derived. The generalized second-grade fluid saturates the porous space. Fractional derivative is used in the governing equation. The analytical expressions for velocity and shear stress fields have been obtained by using Laplace transform technique for the fractional calculus. The o...

designing and optimization of the intake manifold is one of the important steps in the development of the internal combustion engines. in this paper, the flow inside the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine is investigated by numerical modeling. the convective flux models are adopted to simulate the unsteady compressible flow behavior. to solve the governing equations, for calculati...

a subsurface drainage network mainly carries unsteady flow and data are not usually available for model parameters calibration in such networks. in the present research, the finite volume method using the time splitting scheme was employed to develop a computer code for solving the one dimensional unsteady flow equations. using corrugated sub drainage pipes, an experimental prototype setup was ...

eunsteady slip-flow of second grade non-newtonian electrically conducting fluid over an oscillating sheet has been considered and solved numerically. a second-order slip velocity model is used to predict the flow characteristic over the wall. with the assumption of infinite length in the x-direction, the velocity of the fluid can be assumed as a function of y and t, hence, with proper change va...

Our understanding of how variable wind in natural environments affects flying insects is limited because most studies of insect flight are conducted in either smooth flow or still air conditions. Here, we investigate the effects of structured, unsteady flow (the von Karman vortex street behind a cylinder) on the flight performance of bumblebees (Bombus impatiens). Bumblebees are 'all-weather' f...

The results from two numerical simulations of the unsteady flow in a 1-1/2 stage axial-flow turbine are presented and compared with experimental data to show both the effect of blade count on the solution accuracy and the time-averaged and unsteady flow physics present. The TFLO three-dimensional, multi-block, massively parallel turbomachinery flow solution procedure is used to simulate the flo...

the effect of weak shear thickening and shear thinning on the stability of the taylor-couette flow is explored for a carreau-bird fluid in the narrow-gap limit. the galerkin projection method is used to derive a low-order dynamical system from the conservation of mass and momentum equations. in comparison with the newtonian system, the present equations include additional nonlinear coupling in ...

In this paper, we study the steady and unsteady magneto hydro dynamic (MHD) viscous, incompressible free and forced convective flow of an electrically conducting Newtonian fluid through a porous medium in the presence of appreciable thermal radiation heat transfer and surface temperature oscillation taking hall current into account. The fluid is assumed to be optically-thin and magnetic Reynold...

1. Introduction A great variety of flows with importance to practical engineering applications are inherently unsteady and virtually all of the Newtonian fluid flows in nature are turbulent. Therefore, it is natural and unavoidable to deal with unsteady turbulent flows when Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are applied to engineering design and industrial use. CFD for general fluid ...
