Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze magnetohydrodynamic three-dimensional flow of Casson nanofluid over a stretching sheet in presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. In contrast, the convective surface boundary conditions with the effects of radiation are applied. Design/methodology/approach The governing partial differential equations are transformed into highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations consisting of the momentum, energy and nanoparticle concentration via suitable similarity transformations, which are then solved the using optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) a Mathematica Package BVPh2.0. Findings The influence of emerging physical flow parameters on fluid velocity component, temperature distribution and nanoparticle concentration are discussed in detail. Also, an OHAM solution demonstrates very good correlation with those obtained in the previously published results. It is noticed that OHAM can overcome the earlier restriction, assumptions and limitation of traditional perturbation method. The main advantage of this method is that OHAM can be applied directly to nonlinear differential equations without using linearization and round-off errors, and therefore, it cannot be affected by error associated to discretization. Originality/value Here the approximate solutions are compared with the numerical results published in earlier work.

The effects of two base-potentials on the accuracy of a slender-body method are studied in this paper. In the formulation for this method which is developed for the slender ships, the velocity potential is decomposed into a base-potential and a perturbation potential. Then using an order of magnitude analysis, the three-dimensional flow problem is simplified into a series of two-dimensional problems for the perturbation potential. These two-dimensional problems are solved with the linearized free surface boundary conditions, using a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian method. Finally for the two base-potentials, the numerical wave elevation along a Wigleyull are compared with the experimental results.

This paper discusses the formulation of surface boundary conditions for a three-dimensional transport model for shallow lakes, specifically for Hamilton Harbour. The same hydrodynamic equations that describe the circulation of the ocean and the Great Lakes were used in this study. However, the boundary conditions (bed topography, shoreline configuration, and surface and bottom shear stress fields) have bigger effects on circulation in shallow enclosed lakes.In this study the flow is assumed to be incompressible and in hydrostatic equilibrium. A layered system is used in which the lake is considered to consist of a number of unequal layers in the vertical. The hydrodynamic equations are integrated vertically over each layer, and both vertical and horizontal eddy viscosities are introduced.The over-water wind stress is determined using the logarithmic wind velocity distribution and Von Karman's integral equation for turbulent flow over a rough movable surface of variable roughness, in conjunction with equations for wind–wave generation. Thus the wind drag coefficient is determined as a function of wind and wave characteristics, and is time- and space-dependent.

By inversing one of the stream functions and their principal equations in a three–dimensional flow the equations with the second–order partial derivatives of both the coordinate and another stream function are derived. The corresponding boundary conditions are easily specified. Based on these equations and the boundary conditions the convergent solution for turbomachinery blading is obtained. The computational results show that the method is simple and effective.

The extension of a well established three dimensional flow calculation method to calculate the flow through multiple turbomachinery blade rows is described in this paper. To avoid calculating the unsteady flow, which is inherent in any machine containing both rotating and stationary blade rows, a mixing process is modelled at a calculating station between adjacent blade rows. The effects of this mixing on the flow within the blade rows may be minimised by using extrapolated boundary conditions at the mixing plane.

Simulation of some fluid phenomena associated with Generation IV reactors requires the capability of modeling mixing in two- or three-dimensional flow. At the same time, the flow condition of interest is often transient and depends upon boundary conditions dictated by the system behavior as a whole. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an ideal tool for simulating mixing and three-dimensional flow in system components, whereas a system analysis tool is ideal for modeling the entire system. This paper presents the reasoning which has led to coupled CFD and systems analysis code software to analyze the behavior of advanced reactor fluid system behavior. In addition, the kinds of scenarios where this capability is important are identified. The important role of a coupled CFD/systems analysis code tool in the overall calculation scheme for a Very High Temperature Reactor is described. The manner in which coupled systems analysis and CFD codes will be used to evaluate the mixing behavior in a plenum for transient boundary conditions is described. The calculation methodology forms the basis for future coupled calculations that will examine the behavior of such systems at a spectrum of conditions, including transient accident conditions, that define the operational and accident envelope of the subject system. The methodology and analysis techniques demonstrated herein are a key technology that in part forms the backbone of the advanced techniques employed in the evaluation of advanced designs and their operational characteristics for the Generation IV advanced reactor systems.

Experimental measurements of hydrodynamic forces on a cubic block near the bottom under solitary waves were carried out. Horizontal and vertical forces were recorded and instantaneous and averaged values of hydrodynamic coefficients CD, C„ and C,_ for different boundary conditions, gap between block and bottom, e, and two or three-dimensional flow, were obtained. Horizontal and vertical forces were found to depend strongly on e/D, where D is the block side . Instantaneous values of hydrodynamic coefficients vary considerably during the wave passage and differ appreciably from the averaged coefficients.
