AbstractIn this article, the lubrication of a long porous slider in which the fluid is injected into the porous bottom is considered. The similarity transformations reduce the governing problem of Navier-Stokes equations to coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved by HAM. Solutions are obtained for much larger values of Reynolds number compared to analytical and numerical methods. The results comprise good agreement between approximate and numerical solutions. HAM gives rapid convergent series solutions which show that this method is efficient, accurate and has advantages over other methods. Further, homotopy-pade’ technique is used to accelerate the convergence of series solution.

In this article, stagnation flow in the vicinity of a shrinking sheet is studied. A similarity transformation is employed to reduce the Navier—Stokes equations to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations. These equations are then solved analytically by means of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results obtained were shown to compare well with the numerical results available in the literature for the same problem. Close agreement between the two sets of results indicates the accuracy of the HAM. The method can predict the flow field in all vertical distances from the sheet, and is also able to control the convergence of the solution. The numerical solution of the similarity equations is also developed and the results are in good agreement with the analytical results based on the HAM.

The Navier-Stokes equations and the equation of continuity describing the flow in the flat-faced nozzle-flapper valve are numerically solved by the iterative relaxation method and the effect of the flow contraction (vena contracta) occurring in the radial gap in the valve is investigated. Furthermore, an approximate formula for the flow force acting on the flapper is derived on the basis of the numerical solutions. The formula for the flow force is in good agreement with experimental results.

Lift And Drag

The current research explores the injection of a viscous fluid through a moving flat plate with a transverse uniform magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow field to reduce sliding drag. Two cases of velocity slip between the slider and the ground are studied: a long slider and a circular slider. Solving the porous slider problem is applicable to fluid-cushioned porous sliders, which are useful in reducing the frictional resistance of moving bodies. By using a similarity transformation, three dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are converted into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting nonlinear boundary value problem was solved analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The HAM provided a fast convergent series solution, showing that this method is efficient, accurate, and has many advantages over the other existing methods. Solutions were obtained for the different values of Reynolds numbers (R), velocity slip, and magnetic fields. It was found that surface slip and Reynolds number had substantial influence on the lift and drag of the long and the circular sliders. Moreover, the effects of the applied magnetic field on the velocity components, load-carrying capacity, and friction force are discussed in detail with the aid of graphs and tables.

In this article magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of compressible fluid in a channel with porous walls is researched. In this study it is shown that the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations can be reduced to an ordinary differential equation, using the similarity transformations and boundary layer approximations. Analytical solution of the developed nonlinear equation is carried out by the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). In addition to applying HAM into the obtained equation, the result of the mentioned method is compared with a type of numerical analysis as Boundary Value Problem method (BVP) and a good agreement is seen. The effects of the Reynolds number and Hartman number are investigated.

Velocity inversion is an interesting phenomenon of nanoscale which means that the velocity near the wall is greater than that of center. To solve this problem, fluid flow in nanochannel attracts more attention in recent years. The physical model of gas flow in two-dimensional nanochannel was established here. To describe the process with conventional control equations, Navier–Stokes equations combined with high-order accurate slip boundary conditions was used as mathematical model. With the introduction of new dimensionless variables, the problem was reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Then it was analytically solved and investigated using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results were verified by comparing with other available experiment data. Result shows that the proposed method could predict velocity phenomenon.

Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations have been obtained in the low range of Reynolds numbers for steady, axially symmetric, viscous, incompressible fluid flow through an orifice in a circular pipe with a fixed orifice/pipe diameter ratio. Streamline patterns and vorticity contours are presented as functions of Reynolds number. The theoretically determined discharge coefficients are in good agreement with experimental results of Johansen (2).

When a bubble collapses mildly the interior pressure field is spatially uniform; this is an assumption often made to close the Rayleigh–Plesset equation of bubble dynamics. The present work is a study of the self-consistency of this assumption, particularly in the case of violent collapses. To begin, an approximation is developed for a spatially non-uniform pressure field, which in a violent collapse is inertially driven. Comparisons of this approximation show good agreement with direct numerical solutions of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with heat and mass transfer. With knowledge of the departures from pressure uniformity in strongly forced bubbles, one is in a position to develop criteria to assess when pressure uniformity is a physically valid assumption, as well as the significance of wave motion in the gas. An examination of the Rayleigh–Plesset equation reveals that its solutions are quite accurate even in the case of significant inertially driven spatial inhomogeneity in the pressure field, and even when wave-like motions in the gas are present. This extends the range of utility of the Rayleigh–Plesset equation well into the regime where the Mach number is no longer small; at the same time the theory sheds light on the interior of a strongly forced bubble.

Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are given for the steady, two-dimensional, laminar flow of an incompressible fluid through a channel with a symmetric constriction in the form of a semi-infinite step change in width. The flow proceeds from a steady Poiseuille velocity distribution far enough upstream of the step in the wider part of the channel to a corresponding distribution downstream in the narrower part and is assumed to remain symmetrical about the centre line of the channel. The numerical scheme involves an accurate and efficient centred difference treatment developed by Dennis & Hudson (1978) and results are obtained for Reynolds numbers, based on half the volumetric flow rate, up to 2000. For a step that halves the width of the channel it is found that very fine uniform grids, with 80 intervals spaced across half of the wider channel upstream, are necessary for resolution of the solution for the flow downstream of the onset of the step. Slightly less refined grids are adequate to resolve the flow upstream. The calculated flow ahead of the step exhibits very good agreement with the asymptotic theory of Smith (1979 b)for Reynolds numbers greater than about 100; indeed, comparisons of the upstream separation position and of the wall vorticity nearby are believed to yield the best agreement between numerical and asymptotic solutions yet found. Downstream there is also qualitative agreement regarding separation and reattachment as the grid size is refined in the numerical results.
