The method of characteristics has been used in a variety of graphical, analytical, and numerical ways as a powerful tool in the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. The availability of digital computers permits the basic method to be applied to a greatly extended class of problems represented by semihyperbolic equations. This general extension is illustrated by problems of unsteady fluid flow in rigid tubes with the effects of frequency or history-dependent wall shear and heat transfer.

A new method of dimensional analysis is presented by demonstrating its application to a range of problems in fluid flow and heat transfer. The technique is a development of a previously published and accepted method of inspectional analysis. This new technique is shown to give the correct results on both simple equations with solutions, and on more complex sets of partial differential equations without solutions. This development of a single method from the simple to the complex has obvious teaching advantages.


This chapter describes the pdepe command, which is used to solve spatially one-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs). It begins with a description of the standard forms of PDEs and its initial and boundary conditions that the pdepe solver uses. It is shown how various PDEs and boundary conditions can be represented in standard forms. Applications to the mechanics are presented in the final part of the chapter. They illustrate how to solve: heat transfer PDE with temperature dependent material properties, startup velocities of the fluid flow in a pipe, Burger's PDE, and coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo PDE.

An oscillatory mixed-convection fluid flow mechanism across a nonconducting horizontal circular cylinder embedded in a porous medium has been computed. For this purpose, a model in the form of partial differential equations is formulated, and then, the governing equations of the dimensionless model are transformed into the primitive form for integration by using primitive variable formulation. The impact of emerging parameters such as porous medium parameter Ω , Richardson number λ , magnetic force parameter ξ , and Prandtl number Pr on skin friction, heat transfer, and current density is interpreted graphically. It is demonstrated that accurate numerical results can be obtained by the present method by treating nonoscillating and oscillating parts of coupled partial differential equations simultaneously. In this study, it is well established that the transient convective heat transfer, skin friction, and current density depend on amplitude and phase angle. One of the objects of the present study is to predict the mechanism of heat and fluid flow around different angles of a nonconducting horizontal circular cylinder embedded in a porous medium.
