Slow Flow Past Porous Shell Of Variable Permeability With Cavity At The Centre, Sanjeeva K. Singh, Vineet K. Verma
Slow Flow Past Porous Shell Of Variable Permeability With Cavity At The Centre, Sanjeeva K. Singh, Vineet K. Verma
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper slow flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid past a heterogeneous porous spherical shell with cavity is discussed. The permeability of porous sphere is varying with radial distance. Flow outside the porous spherical shell and inside the central cavity region is governed by the Stoke’s equation. Brinkman equation is used to analyze the flow inside the porous region. The boundary conditions used at the interface of porous and clear region are the continuity of velocity and stress. Exact solution of the problem is obtained and relevant quantities such as stream lines, velocity, pressure and drag on surface of …

Two Dimensional Mathematical Study Of Flow Dynamics Through Emphysemic Lung, Jyoti Kori, Pratibha _
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
There are various lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, fibrosis, emphysema etc., occurred due to deposition of different shape and size particles. Among them we focused on flow dynamics of viscous air through an emphysemic lung. We considered lung as a porous medium and porosity is a function of tidal volume. Two dimensional generalized equation of momentum is used to study the flow of air and equation of motion is used to study the flow of nanoparticles of elongated shape. Darcy term for flow in porous media and shape factor for nonspherical nanoparticles are used in mathematical …

Mhd Boundary Layer Flow Of Darcy-Forchheimer Mixed Convection In A Nanofluid Saturated Porous Media With Viscous Dissipation, S. Jagadha, P. Amrutha
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The steady laminar viscous incompressible nanofluid flow of mixed convection and mass transfer about an isothermal vertical flat plate embedded in Darcy porous medium in the presence of magnetic field and viscous dissipation is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations. The coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are linearized by Quasi-linearization technique. The linear ordinary differential equations are solved by using implicit finite difference scheme with the help of C-programming. Numerical calculations are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameter such as magnetic field, mixed convection parameter, inertia parameter, buoyancy ratio …
A Physics-Based Approach To Modeling Wildland Fire Spread Through Porous Fuel Beds, Tingting Tang
A Physics-Based Approach To Modeling Wildland Fire Spread Through Porous Fuel Beds, Tingting Tang
Theses and Dissertations--Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Wildfires are becoming increasingly erratic nowadays at least in part because of climate change. CFD (computational fluid dynamics)-based models with the potential of simulating extreme behaviors are gaining increasing attention as a means to predict such behavior in order to aid firefighting efforts. This dissertation describes a wildfire model based on the current understanding of wildfire physics. The model includes physics of turbulence, inhomogeneous porous fuel beds, heat release, ignition, and firebrands. A discrete dynamical system for flow in porous media is derived and incorporated into the subgrid-scale model for synthetic-velocity large-eddy simulation (LES), and a general porosity-permeability model is …
Mathematical Model To Study The Spread Of Spilled Oil In The Soil, Nirmala P. Ratchagar, S. V. Hemalatha
Mathematical Model To Study The Spread Of Spilled Oil In The Soil, Nirmala P. Ratchagar, S. V. Hemalatha
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A mathematical model describing the spread of spilled oil through the soil is discussed. The spread of spilled oil in soil is controlled by the flow of water and is described by multiphase equations. In this context, the two-phase flow characteristics of oil-water flow with varying viscosity in the subsurface coupled to an advective-diffusion equation are examined to study the transport of oil. The terms that model the interaction between the multiple phases are introduced at the boundary, such as the slip condition at the porous-fluid interface, shear stress condition at the fluid-fluid interface, and the continuity of velocity at …
Free Convective Chemically Absorption Fluid Past An Impulsively Accelerated Plate With Thermal Radiation Variable Wall Temperature And Concentrations, Sanjib Sengupta
Free Convective Chemically Absorption Fluid Past An Impulsively Accelerated Plate With Thermal Radiation Variable Wall Temperature And Concentrations, Sanjib Sengupta
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The present paper deals with the theoretical study of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on free convective heat and mass transfer flow of a Newtonian viscous incompressible fluid past a suddenly accelerated semi–infinite vertical permeable plate immersed in Darcian absorption media. The fluid media is considered as optically thick and the Rosselend radiative heat flux model is incorporated in the energy equation. The governing equation of motions are first non-dimensionalised and then transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by employing a suitable periodic transformation. The closed form of the expression for velocity, temperature and concentration fields as well …

Hydro-Thermal Convective Solutions For An Aquifer System Heated From Below, Dambaru Bhatta
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
We investigate the effect of hydro-thermal convection in an aquifer system. It is assumed that the aquifer is bounded below and above by impermeable boundaries and it is heated from below. The solution of the governing system is expressed in terms of the basic steady state solution and perturbed solution. We obtain the critical Rayleigh number and critical wavenumber using Runge-Kutta method in combination of shooting method and present the marginal stability curve. The amplitude equation is derived by introducing the adjoint system. After amplitude is obtained, we compute the linear solutions for super-critical and sub-critical cases. Numerical results for …
