AbstractConsideration is given to the flow of a micropolar liquid down an inclined plane. The steady state is analysed and Yih's technique is employed in an investigation of the stability of this flow with respect to long waves. Detailed calculations are given for thin films and it is shown that the micropolar properties of the liquid play an important role in the stability criterion.

The whirl instability occurs at higher rotating speeds for a full circular fluid-film journal bearing, and many types of clearance configuration have been proposed to solve this instability problem. A clearance configuration of fluid-film journal bearings is optimized in a sense of enhancing the stability of the full circular bearing at high rotational speeds. A performance index is chosen as the sum of the squared whirl-frequency ratios over a wide range of eccentricity ratios, and a Fourier series is used to represent an arbitrary clearance configuration of fluid-film bearings. An optimization problem is then formulated to find the Fourier coefficients to minimize the index. The designed bearing has a clearance configuration similar to that of an offset two-lobe bearing for smaller length-to-diameter ratios. It is shown that the designed bearing cannot destabilize the Jeffcott rotor at any high rotating speed for a wide range of eccentricity ratio. The load capacity of the designed bearings is nearly in the same magnitude as that of the full circular bearing for smaller length-to-diameter ratios. The whirl-frequency ratios of the designed bearing are very sensitive to truncating higher terms of the Fourier series for some eccentricity ratio. The designed bearings successfully enhance the stability of a full circular bearing and are free from the whirl instability.

Thermosolutal instability in a compressible Walters B’ viscoelastic fluid with suspended particles through a porous medium is considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For stationary convection, the Walters B’ viscoelastic fluid behaves like a Newtonian fluid and it is found that suspended particles and medium permeability have a destabilizing effect whereas the stable solute gradient and compressibility have a stabilizing effect on the system. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values to the parameters to depict the stability characteristics. The stable solute gradient and viscoelasticity are found to introduce oscillatory modes in the system which are non-existent in their absence.

We clarify some arguments concerning Jefimenko’s equations, as a way of constructing solutions to Maxwell’s equations, for charge and current satisfying the continuity equation. We then isolate a condition on non-radiation in all inertial frames, which is intuitively reasonable for the stability of an atomic system, and prove that the condition is equivalent to the charge and current satisfying certain relations, including the wave equations. Finally, we prove that with these relations, the energy in the electromagnetic field is quantised and displays the properties of the Balmer series.

In this article, a study on the stability of Walter-B viscoelastic fluid in the highly permeable porous medium under the rotational speed modulation is presented. The impact of rotational modulation on heat transport is performed through a weakly nonlinear analysis. A perturbation procedure based on the small amplitude of the perturbing parameter is used to study the combined effect of rotation and permeability on the stability through a porous medium. Rayleigh–Bénard convection with the Coriolis expression has been examined to explain the impact of rotation on the convective flow. The graphical result of different parameters like modified Prandtl number, Darcy number, Rayleigh number, and Taylor number on heat transfer have discussed. Furthermore, it is found that the modified Prandtl number decelerates the heat transport which may be due to the combined effect of elastic parameter and Taylor number.

This Note examines the effect of vertical periodic motion on the stability characteristics of a viscoelastic fluid layer in a classical Benard geometry. Numerical solutions show that a resonant type behavior which enhances stability occurs at oscillation frequencies near the convective natural frequency of the viscoelastic fluid, while the effect of the periodic motion vanishes as the oscillation frequency gets very large.
