AbstractA steady flow of a power law fluid through an artery with a stenosis has been analyzed. The equation governing the flow is derived under the assumption of mild stenosis. An exact solution of the governing equation is obtained, which is then used to study the effects of various parameters of interest on axial velocity, resistance to flow and shear stress distribution. It is found that axial velocity increases while resistance to flow decreases when going from shear-thinning to shear-thickening fluid. Moreover, the magnitude of shear stress decreases by increasing the tapering parameter. This problem was already addressed by Nadeem et al. [14], but the results presented by them were erroneous due to a mistake in the derivation of the governing equation of the flow. This mistake is highlighted in the "Formulation of the Problem" section.

The effect of non-Newtonian biomagnetic power-law fluid in a channel undergoing external localised magnetic fields is investigated. The governing equations are derived by considering both effects of Ferrohydrodynamics (FHD) and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). These governing equations are difficult to solve due to the inclusion of source term from magnetic equation and the nonlinearity of the power-law model. Numerical scheme of Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP) is developed to solve the governing equations numerically. Extensive results carried out show that this method is efficient on studying the biomagnetic and non-Newtonian power-law flow. New results show that the inclusion of power-law model affects the vortex formation, skin friction and heat transfer parameter significantly. Regardless of the power-law index, the vortex formation length increases when Magnetic number increases. The effect of this vortex however decreases with the inclusion of power-law where in the shear thinning case, the arising vortex is more pronounced than in the shear thickening case. Furthermore, increasing of power-law index from shear thinning to shear thickening, decreases the wall shear stress and heat transfer parameters. However for high Magnetic number, the wall shear stress and heat transfer parameters increase especially near the location of the magnetic source. The results can be used as a guide on assessing the potential effects of radiofrequency fields (RF) from electromagnetic fields (EMF) exposure on blood vessel.

The Stability

AbstractWe study the solitary wave solutions in a thin film of a power-law fluid coating a vertical fibre. Different behaviours are observed for shear-thickening and shear-thinning fluids. For shear-thickening fluids, the solitary waves are larger and faster when the reduced Bond number is smaller. For shear-thinning fluids, two branches of solutions exist for a certain range of the Bond number, where the solitary waves are larger and faster on one and smaller and slower on the other as the Bond number decreases. We carry out an asymptotic analysis for the large and fast-travelling solitary waves to explain how their speeds and amplitudes change with the Bond number. The analysis is then extended to examine the stability of the two branches of solutions for the shear-thinning fluids.

AbstractWe present a model for the determination of a sliding law in the presence of subglacial cavitation. This law determines the basal stress at a clean ice‒bedrock interface in terms of the velocity and effective pressure. The method is based on an exact solution of the Nye—Kamb (linearly viscous) sliding problem with cavities, and uses ideas of Lliboutry (1979) to construct, via renormalization methods, an approximate law for general bedrock form. We show that, for a bedrock whose spectrum has a power‒law behaviour, one obtains a sliding law which gives the basal shear stress proportional to a power of the velocity, and to a power of the effective pressure.The effect of subglacial cavitation on the drainage system is examined, using recent ideas of Kamb. For sufficiently high velocities, drainage through a Röthlisberger tunnel system is unstable, and drainage takes place through the linked system of cavities. This leads to a reduction of the effective pressure, and by taking account of this, one can rewrite the sliding law in terms of stress and velocity only.This sliding law can be multi‒valued, and it is suggested that this underlies the dynamic phenomenon of surges.

The distribution of the speed and shear stress in power-law fluid with the laminar flow in the pipe were analyzed in this paper, then, the flow rate was calculated. Moreover, the stop pipe diameter was designed by calculating the balance of shear stress of power-law fluid in the pipe and the gravity of filling fluid. The conclusion: Ideal stop pipe diameter of power-law fluid is related to fluid properties, pressure and the acceleration of gravity.

AbstractThe phenomena of surface instabilities in a thin power-law fluid during spin coating are investigated. The set of Navier-Stokes equations with non-Newtonian behavior in the region of low Reynolds number serves as a mathematical description of the physical systems. Long-wave perturbation analysis is proposed to derive an evolution equation of the Ostwald de-Waele type fluid to govern the propagation of surface waves. Weakly nonlinear dynamics of film flow is studied by the multiple scales method. The amplitude of instability is determined by a Ginzburg-Landau equation. The study reveals that the degree of power-law index plays a vital role in stabilizing the film flow. The shear-thinning fluid is more unstable than the shear-thickening fluid in the stability analysis. Further, the nonlinear wave speed in the supercritical stability region decreases with increasing values of power-law index.
