Dispersion Of A Solute In Hartmann Two-Fluid Flow Between Two Parallel Plates, J. P. Kumar, J. C. Umavathi Dec 2013

Dispersion Of A Solute In Hartmann Two-Fluid Flow Between Two Parallel Plates, J. P. Kumar, J. C. Umavathi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The paper presents an analytical solution for the dispersion of a solute in a conducting immiscible fluid flowing between two parallel plates in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The fluids in both the regions are incompressible, electrically conducting and the transport properties are assumed to be constant. The channel walls are assumed to be electrically insulating. Separate solutions for each fluid are obtained and these solutions are matched at the interface using suitable matching conditions. The results are tabulated for various values of viscosity ratio, pressure gradient and Hartman number on the effective Taylor dispersion coefficient and volumetric …

Mathematical Modelling Of Blood Flow Through Catheterized Artery Under The Influence Of Body Acceleration With Slip Velocity, S. U. Siddiqui, Sapna Geeta

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The flow of blood through stenosed catheterized artery with the effect of external body acceleration has been considered. The pulsatile flow behaviour of blood in an artery subjected to the pulsatile pressure gradient and slip velocity has been studied considering blood as a Newtonian fluid. The non-linear differential equations governing the fluid flow are solved using the perturbation method. The analytic expressions are derived for the velocity profile, flow rate, wall shear stress and effective viscosity. The computer codes are developed for the analysis of physiological parameters. The effects of various parameters on blood flow are discussed through graphs. It …

The Underlying Physiology Of Arterial Pulse Wave Morphology In Spatial Domain, Nzerem F. Egenti, Alozie H. Nkechi

Cardio-vascular events are among the world’s leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Most postulates suppose that culinary delights can be implicated in incidences of cardio-vascular diseases. This school of thought holds well in many respects. Much as the truistic value of the said school is acknowledged, we conceived of physiological disposition as an endogenous dominant factor in the events being considered, whereas culinary measures constitute an exogenous contributory factor. In this work we aimed at studying the effects of distance (stature) on pulse waveforms. Certain elements of our study showed that pulse wavelength was dominant in prescribing cardio-vascular physiology.


Bianchi Type I Magnetized Cosmological Model With Λ-Term In Bimetric Theory Of Gravitation, M. S. Borkar, S. S. Charjan Jun 2013

Bianchi Type I Magnetized Cosmological Model With Λ-Term In Bimetric Theory Of Gravitation, M. S. Borkar, S. S. Charjan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we investigated Bianchi Type I magnetized cosmological model with cosmological constant in Rosen’s bimetric theory of gravitation by using the techniques of Letelier and Stachel. The nature of the model is discussed in presence as well as in absence of the magnetic field and cosmological constant. Our model exists and it never goes to vacuum if cosmological constant is not equal to zero and for finite value of cosmic time. In the presence of magnetic field, our model goes to vacuum when the cosmic time tends to minus infinity. Further in the absence of magnetic field the …


Chemical Reaction And Hall Effects On Mhd Convective Flow Along An Infinite Vertical Porous Plate With Variable Suction And Heat Absorption, S. Masthanrao, K. S. Balamurugan, S. V. K. Varma, V. C. C. Raju Jun 2013

Chemical Reaction And Hall Effects On Mhd Convective Flow Along An Infinite Vertical Porous Plate With Variable Suction And Heat Absorption, S. Masthanrao, K. S. Balamurugan, S. V. K. Varma, V. C. C. Raju

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper an attempt is made to study the chemical reaction and combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion on MHD convective flow along an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of Hall current with variable suction and heat generation. A uniform magnetic field is applied in a direction normal to the porous plate. The equations governing the fluid flow are solved using the perturbation technique and the expressions for the velocity, the temperature and the concentration distributions have been obtained. Dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are displayed graphically for different values of the parameters entering …

Fluctuating Flow Of Thermomicropolar Fluid Past A Vertical Surface, Md. M. Hossain, M. A. Mandal, N. C. Roy, M. A. Hossain

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The unsteady free convection boundary layer flow of a thermo-micropolar fluid along a vertical plate has been investigated in this paper. The temperature of the plate is assumed to be oscillating about a mean temperature, θw(x), with small amplitude ε. The governing boundary layer equations are analyzed using straight forward finite difference method. The effects of the material parameters such as micropolar heat conduction parameter, N*, the vortex viscosity parameter, K, on the shear stress,𝛕w, surface heat transfer, qw, and the couple-stress, mw, have been investigated.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The onset of double diffusive stationary and oscillatory convection in a viscoelastic Oldroyd type fluid saturated in an anisotropic porous layer heated and soluted from below is studied. The flow is governed by the extended Darcy model for Oldroyd fluid. Stability analysis based on the method of perturbations of infinitesimal amplitude is performed using the normal mode technique. The analysis examines the effect of the Darcy Rayleigh number, the solutal Darcy the Rayleigh number, the relaxation time, the retardation time and the Lewis number. Important conclusions include the destabilizing effect of the relaxation time, the Darcy Rayleigh number and the …
