Abstract This paper deals with the three-dimensional analysis of viscous fluid flow in a long circular cylinder containing an ellipsoidal obstacle. The center of the ellipsoid coincides with that of the cylinder, and the flow is confined to the space between the ellipsoid and the cylinder when the fluid velocity at the large distance from the ellipsoid is uniform. The equations of the classical theory of fluid dynamics are solved in terms of an unknown function which is then shown to be the solution of a boundary integro-differential equation. A numerical solution of the integro-differential equation is obtained and the pressure on the surface of the ellipsoid is presented in graphical forms for various values of the radius of the circular tube.

The practice of flowing effort is participating in various industries especially in nutrition productions all around the world. These fluids practices are utilized extensively in nutrition handling productions by making use of sticky liquids to produce valuable food manufactured goods in bulk. Nevertheless, such productions ought to guarantee that involved equipment such as pipelines are maintained clean as well as are cleared out for the efficient movement of fluids. The nonsimilar characteristics of involuntary convection from circular cylinder stretching in the axial direction subjected to an external flow of Sisko fluid characterized by the freely growing boundary layers (BL) are presented in this research. A circular cylinder is submerged in a stationary fluid. The axial stretching of the cylinder causes external fluid flow. The magnetic force of strength ″ B 0 ″ is enforced in the transverse direction. Because of the fluid's high viscosity, frictional heating due to viscous dissipation is quite significant. The flow is three dimensional but with no circumferential variations. The governing equations for axisymmetric flow that include the mass balance, x -momentum, and heat equation are modeled through conservation laws. The dimensionless system is developed by employing appropriate nonsimilar transformations. The numerical analyses are presented by adapting local nonsimilarity via finite-difference (FDM)-based MATLAB algorithm bvp4c. The characteristics of dimensionless numbers are determined by graphs that are plotted on momentum and heat equations. The nonsimilar simulations have been compared with the existing local similar solutions. Fluid velocity is increased as the material and curvature parameters are increased, resulting in improved heat transfer. The deviation in skin friction and local Nusselt number against the various dimensionless numbers is also analyzed.

This paper aims to investigate the time-dependent stagnation point flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid subjected to the modified Fourier law. The flow into a vertically stretched cylinder at the stagnation point is discussed. The heat flux model of a non-Fourier is intended for the transfer of thermal energy in fluid flow. The study is carried out on the surface heating source, namely the surface temperature. The developed nonlinear partial differential equation for regulating fluid flow and heat transport is transformed via appropriate similarity variables into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The development and analysis of convergent series solutions were considered for velocity and temperature. Prandtl number numerical values are computed and investigated. This study’s findings are compared to the previous findings. By making use of the bvp4c Matlab method, numerical solutions are obtained. Besides, high buoyancy parameter values are found to increase the fluid velocity for the stimulating approach. By improving the thermal relaxation time parameter values, heat transfer in the fluid flow decreases. The temperature field effects are displayed graphically.

Macrosegregation remains one of main defects affecting metal materials properties, which is mainly caused by interdendritic fluid flow during solidifying. However, as for controlling actual specific segregation, it is still difficult to effectively measure or simulate this kind flow instead of pure fluid flow, especially in complex casting processes of high-grade materials. Herein, a new method for obtaining velocity magnitude and direction of interdendritic fluid flow during metal solidifying is proposed from boundary layer and standard deviation obtained by measuring etched surface heights of the actual ingot and using statistical principles. Taking continuous casting bloom of GCr15 bearing steel as an example, it is indicated that the calculated velocity magnitudes under different sides and superheats can be explained by process features and, hence, solidification mechanism. The velocity magnitude and fluctuation are higher on the inner curve side and under low superheat. Meanwhile, it is found that the fluctuation extent of secondary arm spacing is more relevant with interdendritic fluid flow, although its magnitude is mainly determined by the cooling rate. Moreover, on the basis of the calculated velocity directions and magnitudes, there is a positive correlation between segregation area ratio and the effective ratio between interdendritic flow velocity and growth velocity especially in the equiaxed grain zone, which corresponds with classic macrosegregation formation theory. The above findings and comparison with other results demonstrate the validity of the new approach, which can obtain the magnitude and the direction of interdendritic fluid velocity for two or three-dimensional multiscale velocity distribution by tailoring measuring length and numbers.
