AbstractThe flow of a viscous fluid disturbed by an oscillating plate of arbitrary initial phase is studied in present note. The exact solutions of the velocity and the shear stress are solved using a Laplace transform method. The velocity is derived in terms of complementary error functions and the shear stress on the boundary is given in the form of Fresnel integrals. Since the steady-state solutions are well known, our discussions are focused on the transient solutions. The transient state will disappear faster for the wall stress than that for the velocity field. Comparing the results corresponding to different initial phases, the cosine case reaches to the steady state more rapidly than the sine case.

In this paper, exact solutions of velocity and stresses are obtained for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Maxwell fluid in a porous half space by the Laplace transform method. The flows are caused by the cosine and sine oscillations of a plate. The derived steady and transient solutions satisfy the involved differential equations and the given conditions. Graphs for steady-state and transient velocities are plotted and discussed. It is found that for a large value of the time t, the transient solutions disappear, and the motion is described by the corresponding steady-state solutions.

This paper analyzed the multi-machine repairable system with one unreliable server and one repairman. The machines may break at any time. One server oversees servicing the machine breakdown. The server may fail at any time with different failure rates in idle time and busy time. One repairman is responsible for repairing the server failure; the repair rate is variable to adapt to whether the machines are all functioning normally or not. All the time distributions are exponential. Using the quasi-birth-death(QBD) process theory, the steady-state availability of the machines, the steady-state availability of the server, and other steady-state indices of the system are given. The transient-state indices of the system, including the reliability of the machines and the reliability of the server, are obtained by solving the transient-state probabilistic differential equations. The Laplace–Stieltjes transform method is used to ascertain the mean time to the first breakdown of the system and the mean time to the first failure of the server. The case analysis and numerical illustration are presented to visualize the effects of the system parameters on various performance indices.

AbstractThe existence of solutions of the non-sliding shallow-ice-sheet equation on a flat horizontal bed with a mass balance linearly depending on altitude is proven for fixed margins. Free-margin solutions for the same mass balance do not exist. Fixed-margin solutions show unbounded shear stress and nonzero mass flux at the margin. Steady-state solutions with realistic margins, vanishing ice flux and vanishing shear stress are found numerically for ice sheets with Weertman-type sliding.

The velocity field and the adequate shear stress corresponding to the first problem of Stokes for generalized Burgers’ fluids are determined in simple forms by means of integral transforms. The solutions that have been obtained, presented as a sum of steady and transient solutions, satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. They can be easily reduced to the similar solutions for Burgers, Oldroyd-B, Maxwell, and second-grade and Newtonian fluids. Furthermore, as a check of our calculi, for small values of the corresponding material parameters, their diagrams are almost identical to those corresponding to the known solutions for Newtonian and Oldroyd-B fluids. Finally, the influence of the rheological parameters on the fluid motions, as well as a comparison between models, is graphically illustrated. The non-Newtonian effects disappear in time, and the required time to reach steady-state is the lowest for Newtonian fluids.
