Based on a brief historical excursion, a list of principles is formulated which substantiates the choice of axioms and methods for studying nature. The axiomatics of fluid flows are based on conservation laws in the frames of engineering mathematics and technical physics. In the theory of fluid flows within the continuous medium model, a key role for the total energy is distinguished. To describe a fluid flow, a system of fundamental equations is chosen, supplemented by the equations of the state for the Gibbs potential and the medium density. The system is supplemented by the physically based initial and boundary conditions and analyzed, taking into account the compatibility condition. The complete solutions constructed describe both the structure and dynamics of non-stationary flows. The classification of structural components, including waves, ligaments, and vortices, is given on the basis of the complete solutions of the linearized system. The results of compatible theoretical and experimental studies are compared for the cases of potential and actual homogeneous and stratified fluid flow past an arbitrarily oriented plate. The importance of studying the transfer and transformation processes of energy components is illustrated by the description of the fine structures of flows formed by a free-falling drop coalescing with a target fluid at rest.

Fractional derivatives have been proven to showcase a spectrum of solutions that is useful in the fields of engineering, medical, and manufacturing sciences. Studies on the application of fractional derivatives on fluid flow are relatively new, especially in analytical studies. Thus, geometrical representations for fractional derivatives in the mechanics of fluid flows are yet to be discovered. Nonetheless, theoretical studies will be useful in facilitating future experimental studies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to showcase an analytical solution on the impact of the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative for a magnethohydrodynamic (MHD) Casson fluid flow with thermal radiation and chemical reaction. Analytical solutions are obtained via Laplace transform through compound functions. The obtained solutions are first verified, then analysed. It is observed from the study that variations in the fractional derivative parameter, α, exhibits a transitional behaviour of fluid between unsteady state and steady state. Numerical analyses on skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number were also analysed. Behaviour of these three properties were in agreement of that from past literature.

The motive of this work is to examine the transfer of heat as well as mass phenomena of Eyring-Powell fluid flow on a stretching type of porous medium. The impact of heat absorption and thermal radiation are also considered here to describe the characteristics of the fluid flow. Firstly, a mathematical model of this fluid flow is established which includes time dependent continuity, energy, momentum and concentration formula. Then the fundamental equations are formed to dimensionless format. After that an explicit type finite difference technique is imposed to solve the model by taking the help of FORTRAN. The stability as well as convergence analysis (SCA) is used to develop and check the precession of the overall system. Moreover, the fields of temperature, velocity, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number got affected significantly with the influences of various pertinent parameters which are presented in different color diagrams. However, the updated visualization of the fluid flows is also presented by both isotherms and streamlines for the impact of radiation parameter. Moreover, for Eyring-Powell fluid, an interesting observation has been made that the thermophoretic parameter is influencing the temperature field significantly rather than the Brownian parameter. Finally, for the validation of the ongoing investigation, a suitable comparison is also depicted with some published papers and a proper agreement is noticed.

According to the results of visualization of streams, the existence of structures in a wide range of scales is noted: from galactic to micron. The use of a fundamental system of equations is substantiated based on the results of comparing symmetries of various flow models with the usage of theoretical group methods. Complete solutions of the system are found by the methods of the singular perturbations theory with a condition of compatibility, which determines the characteristic equation. A comparison of complete solutions with experimental data shows that regular solutions characterize large-scale components of the flow, a rich family of singular solutions describes formation of the thin media structure. Examples of calculations and observations of stratified, rotating and multiphase media are given. The requirements for the technique of an adequate experiment are discussed.

The lattice-Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) method has been used to simulate fluid flow in the nearly incompressible limit. But for the completely incompressible flows, two special approaches should be applied to the general model, for the steady and unsteady cases, respectively. Introduced by Zou et al.,1 the method for steady incompressible flows will be described briefly in this paper. For the unsteady case, we will show, using a simple numerical example, the need to solve a Poisson equation for pressure.

Abstract An analysis is made of the suction holding power of a device in which a fluid flows radially outward from a central hole between two parallel circular plates. The holding power and the fluid flow rate are determined as functions of the plate separation. The effect of changing the proportions of the device is investigated. Experiments were made to check the analysis.

In order to understand the mechanism of fluid flows in curved pipes, a large number of theoretical and experimental researches have been performed. As a critical parameter of curved pipe, the curvature ratioδhas received much attention, but most of the values ofδare very small (δ<0.1) or relatively small (δ≤0.5). As a preliminary study and simulation this research studied the fluid flow in a 90-degree curved pipe of large curvature ratio. The Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) turbulence model was employed to investigate the fluid flows at the Reynolds number range from 5000 to 20000. After validation of the numerical strategy, the pressure and velocity distribution, pressure drop, fluid flow, and secondary flow along the curved pipe were illustrated. The results show that the fluid flow in a curved pipe with large curvature ratio seems to be unlike that in a curved pipe with small curvature ratio. Large curvature ratio makes the internal flow more complicated; thus, the flow patterns, the separation region, and the oscillatory flow are different.

Results are presented for an experimental study of fluid flow in models of gas turbine disk cavities. Experiments were performed on 70-cm-dia disks for rotational Reynolds numbers up to 2.29 × 106. Velocity and pressure distributions are presented and compared to previous theoretical and experimental studies for a free disk, and an unshrouded plane Rotor–Stator disk system. Minimum coolant flow rates for the prevention of ingress, determined for the case of a simple axial rim seal, compare well with previously published data.

Abstract The heterogeneous boiling of liquids on hot surfaces, despite its importance, is an extremely complicated and murky phenomenon. It involves the random probabilistic nucleation of multiple bubbles whose growth, interaction, and departure, further, depends on processes involving heat transfer, fluid flow, and interfacial phenomena. This, and the random tumultuous nature of boiling makes experimental studies of the process extremely difficult. For achieving a phenomenological understanding of boiling, several researchers have relied on experiments involving artificially generated bubbles on solid surfaces. In this paper, we evaluate these methods of artificial bubble generation and explore how closely they replicate actual heterogeneous boiling conditions experienced by bubbles. Based on this, we assess the suitability of these methods for conducting phenomenological boiling studies, and identify their potential advantages and drawbacks.

Experimental studies have been carried out on fluid flow through porous media made up of randomly packed monodisperse fibers. The permeability and the Kozeny-Carman parameter kk are deduced from experimental results. The variations of the permeability increase exponentially with the porosity. The parameter kk is a decreasing function of the porosity ε and tends asymptotically to a value close to that deduced from a modified Ergun relation. The important decrease, observed for small aspect ratios, is certainly an effect of the cut sections of fibers. The results in terms of parameter kk are systematically compared to those deduced from various theoretical models. The variation laws of the parameter kk, deduced from different models, present important discrepancies with our experimental results.
