The objective of the current problem is to explore the impact of wall motion on flow, heat and species concentration of a UCM fluid in a magnetohydrodynamic Darcian channel. The flow is confined between two moving walls. The effects of the wall motion on the physical quantities for expanding and contracting cases are studied through non-dimensional numbers and variables. Numerical solutions for the highly nonlinear differential equations are obtained by reducing the governing PDE to ODE using well-established similarity variables. The variation of skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers has been investigated with the help of surface plots so that the influence of the squeezing number on the other non-dimensional parameters can be deeply understood. The results suggest that the squeezing channel intensifies the mass transfer and skin friction at the walls and it also increases the velocity, temperature and concentration of the fluid across the channel.

This paper employs the computational approach known as successive linearization method (SLM) to tackle a fourth order nonlinear differential equation modelling the transient flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two parallel plates produced by a simple wall motion. Numerical and graphical results obtained show excellent agreement with the earlier results reported in the literature. We obtain solution branches as well as a turning point in the flow field accurately. A comparison with numerical results generated using the inbuilt MATLAB boundary value solver,bvp4c, demonstrates that the SLM approach is a very efficient technique for tackling highly nonlinear differential equations of the type discussed in this paper.

The present research aims to examine the micropolar nanofluid flow of Casson fluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system with effects of thermal radiation. The influence of Hall current on the micropolar nanofluids have been taken into account. The fundamental leading equations are transformed to a system of nonlinear differential equations using appropriate similarity variables. An optimal and numerical tactic is used to get the solution of the problem. The convergence and comparison have been shown numerically. The impact of the Hall current, Brownian movement, and thermophoresis phenomena of Casson nanofluid have been mostly concentrated in this investigation. It is found that amassed Hall impact decreases the operative conductivity which intends to increase the velocity field. The temperature field enhances with larger values of Brownian motion thermophoresis effect. The impacts of the Skin friction coefficient, heat flux, and mass flux have been deliberate. The skin friction coefficient is observed to be larger for k=0, as compared to the case of k=0.5. Furthermore, for conception and visual demonstration, the embedded parameters have been deliberated graphically.

In this article, the impact of effective Prandtl number model on 3D incompressible flow in a rotating channel is proposed under the influence of mixed convection. The coupled nonlinear system of partial differential equations is decomposed into a highly nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations with aid of suitable similarity transforms. Then, the solution of a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations is obtained numerically by using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF) method. Furthermore, the surface drag force C f and the rate of heat transfer N u are portrayed numerically. The effects of different emerging physical parameters such as Hartmann number (M), Reynold’s number (Re), squeezing parameter ( β ), mixed convection parameter λ , and volume fraction ( φ ) are also incorporated graphically for γ — alumina. Due to the higher viscosity and thermal conductivity ethylene-based nanofluids, it is observed to be an effective common base fluid as compared to water. These observations portrayed the temperature of gamma-alumina ethylene-based nanofluids rising on gamma-alumina water based nanofluids.

 The combined effects of thermal radiation, buoyancy force and variable heat source on an unsteady MHD flow of a conducting fluid through a porous walled channel is theoretically investigated.  Base on some simplified assumptions, the model partial differential equations are obtained and tackled analytically using variable separable technique. Numerical solutions depicting the impact of various embedded thermophysical parameters on the fluid velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction and Nusselt number are displayed graphically and quantitatively discussed. An escalation in both skin friction and heat transfer rate is observed with a rise in fluid injection–suction at the channel walls.

An unsteady squeezing flow of Casson fluid having magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect and passing through porous medium channel is modeled and investigated. Similarity transformations are used to convert the partial differential equations (PDEs) of non-Newtonian fluid to a highly nonlinear fourth-order ordinary differential equation (ODE). The obtained boundary value problem is solved analytically by Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and numerically by explicit Runge-Kutta method of order 4. For validity purpose, we compare the analytical and numerical results which show excellent agreement. Furthermore, comprehensive graphical analysis has been made to investigate the effects of various fluid parameters on the velocity profile. Analysis shows that positive and negative squeeze numberSqhave opposite effect on the velocity profile. It is also observed that Casson parameterβshows opposite effect on the velocity profile in case of positive and negative squeeze numberSq. MHD parameterMgand permeability constantMphave similar effects on the velocity profile in case of positive and negative squeeze numbers. It is also seen that, in case of positive squeeze number, similar velocity profiles have been obtained forβ,Mg, andMp. Besides this, analysis of skin friction coefficient has also been presented. It is observed that squeeze number, MHD parameter, and permeability parameter have direct relationship while Casson parameter has inverse relationship with skin friction coefficient.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the boundary layer of ferrofluid flow induced by a permeable stretching sheet. Fluid is electrically non-conducting in the presence of non-uniform magnetic field. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying a similarity transformation. Numerical solutions are obtained by using Maple. The effects of the magnetic field, the Reynolds number and the porosity on the velocity and thermal fields are investigated. The impact of the parameters on the skin friction and the local Nusselt number is numerically examined. The skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are decreasing with enhancing the stretching, the values of porosity and the ferromagnetic parameter.

Abstract A numerical investigation is carried out to analyze steady two dimensional Casson nanofluid flow past a wedge with melting. The partial differential equations that govern the nanofluid flow are transformed into highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations by employing similarity transformation. Thereafter, numerical solutions of these governing equations are obtained by MATLAB routine bvp4c. A special case of the present study is compared with an existing solution in literature and is found to be in good agreement. The effects of pertinent physical entities on the nanofluid velocity, nanofluid temperature, and nanoparticle concentration are represented graphically, while skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are recorded in tabular form. We observed that, with an increase of wedge angle parameter, nanofluid velocity and local skin friction increase. However, when the melting parameter increases, nanofluid temperature and heat transfer rate decrease. This study would be useful in unfurling novel applications of Casson nanofluids in cooling devices and heat sinks.

The bifilar pendulum is often used for indirect measurements of mass moments of inertia of bodies that possess complex geometries. The exact equation of motion of the bifilar pendulum is highly nonlinear, and has not been solved in terms of elementary functions. Extensive use has been made, however, of the linearized approximation to the exact equation, and it has been assumed that the simple harmonic oscillator adequately describes the motion of the bifilar pendulum. It is shown here that such is generally not the case. Numerical solutions to the exact nonlinear differential equations of motion are obtained for a range of values of initial angular displacement, filament length, and radius of gyration. The filament length and the radius of gyration are normalized with respect to the half-spacing between the filaments. It is shown that the approximate solution gives good results only for small ranges of the system parameters.

AbstractUnstable growth phenomena in spatially discrete wave equations are studied. We characterize sets of initial states leading to instability and collapse and obtain analytical predictions for the blow-up time. The theoretical predictions are con- trasted with the numerical solutions computed by a variety of schemes. The behavior of the systems in the continuum limit and the impact of discreteness and friction are discussed.

To study the impact of floating roof on seismic response of vertical storage tank structure system subjected to seismic excitation, select 150000m3 storage tanks as research object, and the finite element analysis model of storage tanks with and without floating roof were established respectively. The seismic response of these two types of structure in different site conditions and seismic intensity were calculated and the numerical solutions were compared. The results show that floating roof has little impact on base shear and base moment in different site conditions and seismic intensity. Floating roof can effectively reduce the sloshing wave height. The influence of floating roof on dynamic fluid pressure decreases with the increase of seismic intensity, which is less affected by ground conditions.
