The Galerkin approximative technique is used to solve the problem of stagnation in plane flow, the so-called “Hiemenz flow”, of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid in presence of a constant transverse magnetic field. The influence of the magnetic field strength on the wall shear stress is analyzed.

Experiments on the penetration of a magnetic field (de Haas and Casimir-Jonker 1934) into superconductors have shown that, when a superconducting cylinder is placed in an increasing transverse field, penetration of the field first occurs when the applied field strength reaches a value 0·50 H k , where H k is the critical field corresponding to the temperature of the experiment. Since, for this value of the applied field, the field strength, at the surface of the cylinder (von Laue 1932) where it is intersected by a diametral plane perpendicular to the direction of the field, will be precisely H k , the above result is in accordance with expectation. On the other hand, it was found by de Haas, Voogd and Jonker (1934) that under the same conditions the cylinder first exhibited electrical resistance when the applied field strength reached the value 0·58 H k . Since this discrepancy probably results from the properties of the “intermediate state” (Peierls 1936; London 1936; Landau 1937) occurring when the magnetic field just begins to penetrate the superconductor, it seemed desirable to investigate the matter in more detail.

1.The fine structure of the proton sunspot group of July 4–8, 1966 was studied on the basis of high-resolution heliograms. The comparison of the orientation between penumbral filaments and the transverse magnetic fields (observed by A.B. Severny and T.T. Tsap) shows that the direction of the filaments coincides in general with that of the magnetic field.2.Measurements of the magnetic fields of smallest pores (1·5″-2″) showed that the pores are always connected with strong magnetic field (in average 1400 gauss), which is localized at the same small area as the pore.3.Magnetic fields of faculae are concentrated in small elements with the dimension not exceeding 1·5″-3″. Magnetic-field strength H|| of about 45% of facular granules is within the limits of photographic measuring errors (approximately 25 gauss). For a quarter of all facular granules the strength H|| is from 25–50 gauss; about 30% of facular granules have H|| > 50 gauss, and sometimes there appear faculae with field strength of about 200 gauss. The magnetic-field strength of facular granules, which are found directly above spots, is 10–20 times less than the field strength of spots. This field is 80–210 gauss only.4.All observational data mentioned above show that the appearance of the fine-structure features in active regions is directly connected with the fine structure of magnetic field of different strength and different orientation. The study of high-resolution heliograms gives additional information about the fine structure of the magnetic field.

Recent experimental as well as theoretical investigations have shown that the formation of structures of magnetic nanoparticles has significant influence on the behaviour of ferrofluids. The dependence of this structure formation on the magnetic field strength and shear stress applied to the fluid leads to strong changes of the viscosity and to the appearance of viscoelastic effects in the fluids. The actual approaches for a description of the effects vary in the basic modeling of the fluid and its behaviour. Some models base on microscopic assumptions, other model the fluid on a mesoscale and even macroscopic descriptions abstaining from microscopic assumptions have been suggested. A point in which the predictions of the models differ is the question of an appearance of a magnetic field dependent yield stress in ferrofluids. For investigations concerning the appearance and field dependence of a yield stress a special stress controlled rheometer for ferrofluids has been designed. The preliminary results presented here, show a dependence of the yield stress on magnetic field strength for different kind of ferrofluids and magnetorheological fluids.

In this study, the problem of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mixed convection of lid-driven cavity with a triangular-wave shaped corrugated bottom wall filled with a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is numerically studied. The bottom corrugated wall of the cavity is heated and the top moving wall is kept at a constant lower temperature while the vertical walls of the enclosure are considered to be adiabatic. The governing equations are solved by the Galerkin weighted residual finite element formulation. The influence of the Richardson number (between 0.01 and 100), Hartmann number (between 0 and 50), inclination angle of the magnetic field (between 0 deg and 90 deg), and the power-law index (between 0.6 and 1.4) on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are numerically investigated. It is observed that the effects of free convection are more pronounced for a shear-thinning fluid and the buoyancy force is weaker for the dilatant fluid flow compared to that of the Newtonian fluid. The averaged heat transfer decreases with increasing values of the Richardson number and enhancement is more effective for a shear-thickening fluid. At the highest value of the Hartmann number, the averaged heat transfer is the lowest for a pseudoplastic fluid. As the inclination angle of the magnetic field increases, the averaged Nusselt number generally enhances.

Abstract A fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian power law fluid flowing over a non-linear stretching surface in the presence of a transverse magnetic field taking into consideration viscous dissipation effects is investigated. The stretching velocity, the temperature and the transverse magnetic field are assumed to vary in a power-law with the distance from the origin. The flow is induced due to an infinite elastic sheet which is stretched in its own plane. The governing equations are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. By using quasi-linearization techniques first linearize the non linear momentum equation is linearized and then the coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. The numerical solution is found to be dependent on several governing parameters, including the magnetic field parameter, power-law index, Eckert number, velocity exponent parameter, temperature exponent parameter, modified Prandtl number and heat source/sink parameter. A systematic study is carried out to illustrate the effects of these parameters on the fluid velocity and the temperature distribution in the boundary layer. The results for the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are tabulated and discussed.
