Theoretical Results

AbstractIn the article, the effects of the thermal viscosity and magnetohydrodynamic on the peristalsis of nanofluid are analyzed. The dominant neutralization is deduced through long wavelength approximation. The analytical solution of velocity and temperature is extracted by using steady perturbation. The pressure gradient and friction forces are obtained. Numerical results are calculated and contrasted with the debated theoretical results. These results are calculated for various values of Hartmann number, variable viscosity parameter and amplitude ratio. It is observed that the pressure gradient is reduced with an increase in the thermal viscosity parameter and that the Hartmann number enhances the pressure difference.

This study looks at the influence of an endoscope on the peristaltic flow of a particle–fluid suspension (as blood model) through tubes. A long wavelength approximation through a uniform and non-uniform infinite annulus filled with an incompressible viscous and Newtonian fluid mixed with rigid spherical particles of identical size is investigated theoretically. The inner tube is uniform, rigid and moving with a constant velocity V0, whereas the outer non-uniform tube has a sinusoidal wave travelling down its wall. The axial velocity of the fluid phase uf, particulate phase upand the pressure gradients have been obtained in terms of the dimensionless flow rateQ, the amplitude ratioɸ, particle concentrationC, the velocity constant V0and the radius ratio ϵ (the ratio between the radius of the inner tube and the radius of the outer one at the inlet). Numerical calculations for various values of the physical parameters of interest are carried out for the pressure rise and the friction force on the inner and the outer tubes.

This paper discusses the effects of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on peristaltic flow of a Newtonian fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel. Both viscosity and thermal conductivity are considered as a function of temperature. The long wavelength approximation is used to linearize the governing equations. The system of the governing nonlinear partial differential equation is solved using the perturbation method. Solutions are obtained for the velocity field, the temperature and the concentration. Asymmetry in the flow is induced by traveling waves of different phase and amplitude that propagate along the channel walls. The numerical results show that variable viscosity and thermal conductivity have significant influence on velocity, temperature, and mass transfer. The importance of pertinent flow parameters entering into the flow modeling is discussed.

Tensile stability of healthy medial arterial tissue and its constituents, subject to initial geometrical and/or material imperfections, is investigated based on the long wavelength approximation. The study employs existing constitutive models for elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle which comprise the medial layer of large elastic (conducting) arteries. A composite constitutive model is presented based on the concept of the musculoelastic fascicle (MEF) which is taken to be the essential building block of medial arterial tissue. Nonlinear equations governing axial stretch and areal stretch imperfection growth quantities are obtained and solved numerically. Exact, closed-form results are presented for both initial and terminal rates of imperfection growth with nominal load. The results reveal that geometrical imperfections, in the form of area nonuniformities, and material imperfections, in the form of constitutive parameter nonuniformities, either decrease or increase only slightly with increasing nominal load; a result which is to be expected for healthy tissue. By way of contrast, an examination of a simple model for elastin with a degrading stiffness gives rise to unbounded imperfection growth rates at finite values of nominal load. The latter result indicates how initial geometrical and material imperfections in diseased tissues might behave, a topic of future study by the authors.

We give a critical review of the "triviality" of the λϕ4 theory, i.e., the vanishing of the renormalized self-coupling. Evidence from perturbation theory and Monte-Carlo simulations are cited. It is noted that (a) the theory is "trivial" but not entirely free, for there is spontaneous symmetry breaking; (b) perturbation theory is unreliable. Soluble examples with similar behavior are compared, in particular the Lee model and the 3D δ function potential. The latter case is especially important, for it shows that triviality is a symptom that the interaction is too singular, and suggests a cure. The import for the Higgs sector of the standard model is discussed. It is argued that, like the Fermi pseudopotential, the Higgs field is a long-wavelength approximation that should be used in lowest order perturbation theory only.
