AbstractThe formal method of matched expansions is applied to two further examples. The first concerns the magnetic field induced by a steady current in a thin toroidal wire. The second, which involves a non-linear ordinary differential equation of the fourth order, has been chosen to resemble the problem of flow past a circular cylinder at small Reynolds numbers. The results of the formal procedure are proved in each case to be expansions of the exact solution.

In this research, we investigated the effect of tumor growth on blood flow through a micro channel by formulated the governing model with the assumption that blood is an incompressible, eclectrially conducting fluid which flow is caused by the pumping action of the heart and suction. The governing model was scaled using some dimensionless variables and the region of the tumor was obtained from Dominguez [1] which was incorporated in our model. The model is further reduced to an ordinary differential equation using a perturbation condition. However, the ordinary differential equation was solved using method of undermined coefficients, and the constants coefficients obtained via matrix method. Furthermore, the simulation to study the effect of the pertinent parameters was done suing computation software called Mathematica. It is seen in our investigation that the entering parameters such as magnetic field parameter, the Reynolds number, womersley number, oscillatory frequency parameter, and permeability parameter affect the blood velocity profile in decreasing and increasing fashion.

The results of an experimental study of the salt melt downflow in a uniformly heated pipe under the influence of a strong transverse magnetic field are presented. The changes of heat transfer coefficients and statistical characteristics of temperature fluctuations under the influence of the magnetic field are investigated. The peculiarities of the transition of the viscous-gravitational flow in the viscous-inertial-gravitational flow at Reynolds numbers (Re=3000-5000) under the influence of the magnetic field (Ha=17) were studied.

AbstractIn this work, the solvability of a generally nonlocal problem is investigated for a third order linear ordinary differential equation with variable principal coefficient. A novel adjoint problem and Green’s functional are constructed for a completely nonhomogeneous problem. Several illustrative applications for the theoretical results are provided.

We investigate finite-amplitude magnetoconvection in a rotating fluid in the presence of a vertical magnetic field when the axis of rotation is parallel to a vertical magnetic field. We derive a nonlinear, time-dependent, one-dimensional Landau–Ginzburg equation near the onset of stationary convection at supercritical pitchfork bifurcation whenformula hereand a nonlinear time-dependent second-order ordinary differential equation when Ta=T*a (from below). Ta=T*a corresponds to codimension-two bifurcation (or secondary bifurcation), where the threshold for stationary convection at the pitchfork bifurcation coincides with the threshold for oscillatory convection at the Hopf bifurcation. We obtain steady-state solutions of the one-dimensional Landau–Ginzburg equation, and discuss the solution of the nonlinear time-dependent second-order ordinary differential equation.

AbstractA model for thermal ignition by intense light is studied. The governing non-linear parabolic equation is linearized in a two-step manner with the aid of a non-linear ordinary differential equation which captures the salient features of the non-linear parabolic equation. The critical parameters are computed from the steady-state solution of the ordinary differential equation, which can be obtained without actually solving the equation. Comparison with available data shows that the present method yields good results.

The momentum equations are written for viscous fluids exhibiting magnetic stresses. The velocity profiles are deduced; then from continuity, a pressure differential equation, equivalent to Reynolds equation is obtained. This equation is discussed with emphasis on the case when magnetic stresses derive from a potential, also when the pyromagnetic coefficient vanishes. The boundary conditions for lubrication problems are then formulated. In particular, short bearings with ferromagnetic lubricants are considered. A numerical example yields the pressure diagrams at low and moderate eccentricity ratios and for different speeds. In conclusion, it is shown that ferromagnetic lubricants may improve substantially the performance of bearings operating under low loads and/or at low speeds. However, a correct variation of the magnetic field, toward the center of the lubricated area, is required. Under such conditions, the extent of the active area of the film is increased and bearing stiffness and stability are improved.
