Incompressible Micropolar Fluid

The flow generated by performing longitudinal and torsional oscillations of a porous circular cylinder which is subjected to constant suction/injection at the surface of the porous cylinder is studied. A finite difference method is proposed to analyse the velocity components and micro-rotation components, in an infinite expanse of an incompressible micropolar fluid. The effects of cross viscosity parameter, couple stress parameter, Reynolds number and Gyration parameter on the axial and torsional velocity components and on the micro-rotation components are shown graphically. Drag force acting on the wall of the cylinder is derived and the effects of micropolar parameters and suction parameter on the drag are shown graphically.

Laminar Forced Convection

In this paper laminar forced convection associated with the cross-flow of micropolar fluid over a horizontal heated circular cylinder is investigated. The conservation equations of mass, linear momentum, angular momentum and energy are solved to give the details of flow and thermal fields. The flow and thermal fields are mainly influenced by Reynolds number, Prandtl number and material parameters of micropolar fluid. The Reynolds number is considered up to 200 while the Prandtl number is fixed at 0.7. The dimensionless vortex viscosity is the only material parameter considered in this study and is selected in the range from 0 to 5. The study has shown that generally the mean heat transfer decreases as the vortex viscosity increases. The results have also shown that both the natural frequency of vortex shedding and the amplitude of oscillating lift force experience clear reduction as the vortex viscosity increases. Moreover, the study showed that there is a threshold value for vortex viscosity above which the flow over the cylinder never responds to perturbation and stays symmetric without vortex shedding. Regarding drag coefficient, the results have revealed that within the selected range of controlling parameters the drag coefficient does not show a clear trend as the vortex viscosity increases.

Incompressible Micropolar Fluid

The numerical study of axi-symmetric, steady flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid past an impervious sphere is presented by assuming uniform flow far away from the sphere. The continuity, linear and angular momentum equations are considered for incompressible micropolar fluid in accordance with Eringen. The governing equations of the physical problem are transformed to ordinary differential equation with variable co-efficient by using similarity transformation method. The obtained differential equation is then solved numerically by assuming the shooting technique. The effect of coupling and coupling stress parameter on the properties of the fluid flow is studied and demonstrated by graphs.
