Homotopy Analysis

The transient squeezing flow of a magneto-micropolar biofluid in a noncompressible porous medium intercalated between two parallel plates in the presence of a uniform strength transverse magnetic field is investigated. The partial differential equations describing the two-dimensional flow regime are transformed into nondimensional, nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations for linear and angular momentum (micro-inertia). These equations are solved using the robust Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) and also numerical shooting quadrature. Excellent correlation is achieved. The influence of magnetic field parameter (Ha) , micropolar spin gradient viscosity parameter (Γ) and unsteadiness parameter (S) on linear and angular velocity (micro-rotation) are presented graphically, for specified values of the micropolar vortex viscosity parameter (R), Darcy number (Da i.e. permeability parameter) and medium porosity parameter (ε). Increasing magnetic field (Ha) serves to decelerate both the linear and angular velocity i.e. enhances lubrication. The excellent potential of HAM in bio-lubrication flows is highlighted.

Purpose In this paper, the authors study the behavior of heat and mass transfer between parallel plates of a steady nanofluid flow in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. In the model of nanofluids, the essential effect of thermophoresis and Brownian motion has been encompassed. Design/methodology/approach The variation of parameters method has been exploited to solve the differential equations of nanofluid model. The legitimacy of the variation of parameters method has been corroborated by a comparison of foregoing works by many authors on viscous fluid. Findings An analysis of the model is performed for different parameters, namely, viscosity parameter, Brownian parameter, thermophoretic parameter and magnetic parameter. Originality/value The variation of parameters method proves to be very effective in solving nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations which frequently arise in fluid mechanics.

Approximate Analytical Solutions

In this paper, the magnetic effects on the Newtonian squeeze film between two circular parallel plates, containing a single central air bubble of cylindrical shape are theoretically investigated. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the circular plates, which are in sinusoidal relative motion, and fluid film inertia effects are included in the analysis. Assuming an ideal gas under isothermal condition for an air bubble, a nonlinear differential equation for the bubble radius is obtained by approximating the momentum equation governing the magnetohydrodynamic squeeze film by the mean value averaged across the film thickness. Approximate analytical solutions for the air bubble radius, pressure distribution, and squeeze film force are determined by a perturbation method for small amplitude of sinusoidal motion and are compared with the numerical solution obtained by solving the nonlinear differential equation. The combined effects of air bubble, fluid film inertia, and magnetic field on the squeeze film force are analyzed.

The aim of the present work is to analyze the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) squeezing flow through porous medium using homotopy analysis method (HAM). Fourth-order boundary value problem is modeled through stream functionψ(r,z)and transformationψ(r,z)=r2f(z). Absolute residuals are used to check the efficiency and consistency of HAM. Other analytical techniques are compared with the present work. It is shown that results of good agreement can be obtained by choosing a suitable value of convergence control parameterhin the valid regionRh. The influence of different parameters on the flow is argued theoretically as well as graphically.

Abstract The forced convection of a pulsating flow in a saturated porous parallel-plates microchannel driven by a periodic pressure in the presence of an electrical double layer is investigated. Such configuration is very important but seldom considered in literature. Analytical solutions for electrical, momentum, and temperature fields are obtained by means of a substitution approach. The results show that the flow fields depend highly on the electro-osmotic parameter κ, the angular velocity parameter Ω, as well as the Darcy number Da.

Heat Transfer Characteristics

An analysis was carried out to study the effect of thermal radiation on magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics of a non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid near the stagnation point of a vertical stretching sheet in a porous medium with internal heat generation–absorption. The flow is generated because of linear stretching of the sheet and influenced by the uniform magnetic field that is applied horizontally in the flow region. Using a similarity variable, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations have been transformed into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using an accurate implicit finite difference scheme. A comparison of the obtained results with previously published numerical results is done and the results are found to be in good agreement. The effects of the viscoelastic fluid parameter, magnetic field parameter, nonuniform heat source–sink, and the thermal radiation parameter on the heat transfer characteristics are presented graphically and discussed. The values of the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are tabulated for both cases of assisting and opposing flows.

The aim of this paper is to compare the efficiency of various techniques for squeezing flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in a porous medium under the influence of a uniform magnetic field squeezed between two large parallel plates having slip boundary. Fourth-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation is obtained by transforming the Navier-Stokes equations. Resulting boundary value problem is solved using Differential Transform Method (DTM), Daftardar Jafari Method (DJM), Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM), and Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM). The problem is also solved numerically using Mathematica solver NDSolve. The residuals of the problem are used to compare and analyze the efficiency and consistency of the abovementioned schemes.

Explicit finite-difference method was used to obtain the solution of the system of the non-linear ordinary differential equations which transform from the non-linear partial differential equations. These equations describe the steady magneto-hydrodynamic flow of an oldroyd 8-constant non-Newtonian nano-fluid through a non-Darcy porous medium with heat and mass transfer. The induced magnetic field was taken into our consideration. The numerical formula of the velocity, the induced magnetic field, the temperature, the concentration, and the nanoparticle concentration distributions of the problem were illustrated graphically. The effect of the material parameters (α1 α2), Darcy number Da, Forchheimer number Fs, Magnetic Pressure number RH, Magnetic Prandtl number Pm, Prandtl number Pr, Radiation parameter Rn, Dufour number Nd, Brownian motion parameter Nb, Thermophoresis parameter Nt, Heat generation Q, Lewis number Le, and Sort number Ld on those formula were discussed specially in the case of pure Coutte flow (U0 = 1, d <inline-formula> <mml:math display="block"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mover accent="true"> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="true">^</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </inline-formula> /dx = 0).

A rigorous nonlinear stability result is derived by introducing a suitable generalized energy functional for a magnetized ferrofluid layer heated and soluted from below with magnetic-field-dependent (MFD) viscosity saturating a porous medium, in the stress-free boundary case. The mathematical emphasis is on how to control the nonlinear terms caused by the magnetic-body and inertia forces. For ferrofluids, we find that there is possibility of existence of subcritical instabilities, however, it is noted that, in case of a non-ferrofluid, the global nonlinear stability Rayleigh number is exactly the same as that for linear instability. For lower values of magnetic parameters, this coincidence is immediately lost. The effect of the magnetic parameter, M3; solute gradient, Sf; Darcy number, Da; and MFD viscosity parameter, δ; on the subcritical instability region has also been analyzed.
