Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the three fundamental flows (namely, both the plates moving in opposite directions, the lower plate is moving and other is at rest, and both the plates moving in the direction of flow) of the Ree-Eyring fluid between infinitely parallel plates with the effects of magnetic field, porous medium, heat transfer, radiation and slip boundary conditions. Moreover, the intention of the study is to examine the effect of different physical parameters on the fluid flow. Design/methodology/approach The mathematical modeling is performed on the basis of law of conservation of mass, momentum and energy equation. The modeling of the present problem is considered in Cartesian coordinate system. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized using appropriate dimensionless quantities in all the mentioned cases. The closed-form solutions are presented for the velocity and temperature profiles. Findings The graphical results are presented for the velocity and temperature distributions with the pertinent parameters of interest. It is observed from the present results that the velocity is a decreasing function of Hartmann number. Temperature increases with the increase of Ree-Eyring fluid parameter, radiation parameter and temperature slip parameter. Originality/value First time in the literature, the authors obtained closed-form solutions for the fundamental flows of Ree-Erying fluid between infinitely parallel plates with the effects of magnetic field, porous medium, heat transfer, radiation and slip boundary conditions. Moreover, the results of this paper are new and original.

Steady, laminar and fully developed flows in parallel plate microchannel with asymmetric thermal wall conditions are solved by control volume technique. In order to examine the influence of Reynolds number and Knudsen number on the velocity distributions, a series of simulations are performed for different Reynolds and Knudsen numbers. Nitrogen gas is used as working fluid and we assume the fluid as continuum but employ the slip boundary conditions on the walls. The Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved simultaneously. The results are found in good agreement with those predicted by analytical solutions in 2D continuous flow model employing first order slip boundary conditions. It is concluded that the rarefaction flattens the velocity distribution. If the product of Reynolds numbers and Knudsen numbers is fixed, the cross sectional average velocity is fixed for incompressible flow.GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc.Vol. 35 (2015) 113-126

Numerical solutions are obtained for the fully coupled and highly nonlinear system of differential equations, arising due to the steady Kármán flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid in a porous medium. The conventional no-slip boundary conditions are replaced by partial slip boundary conditions owing to the roughness of the disk surface. Combined effects of the slip λ and porosity γ parameters on the momentum and thermal boundary layers are studied in detail. Both parameters produce the same effects on the mean velocity profiles, such that all velocity components are reduced by increasing either λ or γ. The temperature slip factor β has a dominating influence on the temperature profiles by decreasing the fluid temperature in the whole domain. The porosity parameter strongly decreases the heat transfer coefficient at the wall for low values of β and tends to an asymptotical limit around 0.1 for β ≃ 10. The porosity parameter γ increases the moment coefficient at the disk surface, which is found to monotonically decrease with λ.
