GLOBAL SOLUTION TO 1D MODEL OF A COMPRESSIBLE VISCOUS MICROPOLAR HEAT-CONDUCTING FLUID WITH A FREE BOUNDARY

In this paper we consider the nonstationary 1D flow of the compressible viscous and heat-conducting micropolar fluid,assuming that it is in the thermodynamically sense perfect and polytropic.The fluid is between a static solid wall and a free boundary connected to a vacuum state.We take the homogeneous boundary conditions for velocity,microrotation and heat flux on the solid border and that the normal stress,heat flux and microrotation are equal to zero on the free boundary.The proof of the global existence of the solution is based on a limit procedure.We define the finite difference approximate equations system and construct the sequence of approximate solutions that converges to the solution of our problem globally in time.     

1-D compressible viscous micropolar fluid model with non-homogeneous boundary conditions for temperature: A local existence theorem

We consider non-stationary 1-D flow of a compressible viscous and heat-conducting micropolar fluid, assuming that it is in thermodynamical sense perfect and polytropic. The homogeneous boundary conditions for velocity and microrotation, as well as non-homogeneous boundary conditions for temperature are assumed. Using the Faedo-Galerkin method we prove a local-in-time existence of a generalized solution.     

Stokes flow of a micropolar fluid exterior to several non-intersecting closed surfaces,but contained by an exterior contour

The problem of determining the Stokes flow of a micropolar fluid exterior to several closed surfaces but contained by an exterior contour that encloses all the interior surfaces, is formulated as a system of linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. These integral equations are obtained when the velocity and microrotation vector fields are represented by a double-layer potential with unknown density, and certain singular solutions of the Stokes' micropolar equations. This double-layer potential is defined over the union of all the surfaces involved including the exterior contour. The singularities, corresponding to a concentrated force and concentrated couple located within each interior surface, give rise to force and torque whose magnitudes are linearly dependent on the unknown density of the double layer. It is shown that the system possesses a unique continuous solution when the boundaries are Lyapunov surfaces and the boundary data is continuous.     

On a problem of nonstationary two-dimensional motion of micropolar fluid when normal stress and tangential velocity are given on the boundary

The object of this paper is to investigate the solution of nonstationary motion of micropolar fluid in the half-plane when the normal stresses and tangential velocities are given on the boundary. The Laplace-Fourier transform technique is used to point out the solution by quadratures. Numerical results of the physical quantities such as tangential and normal velocities, pressure, microrotation, stresses and momentums are obtained and displayed graphically. The problem could be met in the study of the vibrations of a memberance or a plate contacting with the fluid.     

Group theoretic method for unsteady free convection flow of a micropolar fluid along a vertical plate in a thermally stratified medium

The group theoretic approach is applied for solving the problem of unsteady natural convection flow of micropolar fluid along a vertical flat plate in a thermally stratified medium. The application of two-parameter transformation group reduces the number of independent variables in the governing system consisting of partial differential equations and a set of auxiliary conditions from three to only one independent variable, and consequently the system of governing partial differential equations with boundary conditions reduces to a system of ordinary differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions. Numerical solution of the velocity, microrotation and heat transfer have been obtained. The possible forms of the ambient temperature variation with position and time are derived.     

Slip at the surface of a sphere translating perpendicular to a plane wall in micropolar fluid

The Stokes axisymmetrical flow caused by a sphere translating in a micropolar fluid perpendicular to a plane wall at an arbitrary position from the wall is presented using a combined analytical-numerical method. A linear slip, Basset type, boundary condition on the surface of the sphere has been used. To solve the Stokes equations for the fluid velocity field and the microrotation vector, a general solution is constructed from fundamental solutions in both cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. Boundary conditions are satisfied first at the plane wall by the Fourier transforms and then on the sphere surface by the collocation method. The drag acting on the sphere is evaluated with good convergence. Numerical results for the hydrodynamic drag force and wall effect with respect to the micropolarity, slip parameters and the separation distance parameter between the sphere and the wall are presented both in tabular and graphical forms. Comparisons are made between the classical fluid and micropolar fluid.

The present article contains the numerical solution for steady flow of a micropolar fluid between two porous plates using finite element method. The micropolar fluid fills the space inside the porous plates when the rate of suction at one boundary is equal to the rate of injection at the other boundary. The results for the fluid velocity and microrotation are graphically presented and the influence of micropolar fluid parameter K and parameter R is discussed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Run up flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid between parallel plates – A state space approach

In this paper, we study the run up flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid between two horizontal infinitely long parallel plates. Initially a flow of the fluid is induced by a constant pressure gradient until steady state is reached. After the steady state is reached, the pressure gradient is suddenly withdrawn while the two plates are impulsively started with different velocities in their own plane. Using the Laplace transform technique and adopting the state space approach, we obtain the velocity and microrotation components in Laplace transform domain. A standard numerical inversion procedure is used to find the velocity and microrotation in space-time domain for various values of time, distance, material parameters and pressure gradient. The variation of velocity and microrotation components is studied and the results are illustrated through graphs. It is observed that the micropolarity parameter has a decreasing effect on velocity component. It is also found that as the gyration parameter increases there is a decrease in microrotation component and an increase in velocity component.

Exponential stability for a one‐dimensional compressible viscous micropolar fluid

In this paper, we consider one‐dimensional compressible viscous and heat‐conducting micropolar fluid, being in a thermodynamical sense perfect and polytropic. The homogenous boundary conditions for velocity, microrotation, and temperature are introduced. This problem has a global solution with a priori estimates independent of time; with the help of this result, we first prove the exponential stability of solution in (H¹(0,1))⁴, and then we establish the global existence and exponential stability of solutions in (H²(0,1))⁴ under the suitable assumptions for initial data. The results in this paper improve those previously related results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Roughness-induced effects on the thermomicropolar fluid flow through a thin domain

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the thermomicropolar fluid flow through a thin channel with rough boundary. The flow is governed by the prescribed pressure drop between the channel's ends and the heat exchange through the rough wall is allowed. Depending on the limit of the ratio between channel's thickness and the wavelength of the roughness, we rigorously derive different asymptotic models clearly showing the roughness-induced effects on the average velocity and microrotation. To accomplish that, we employ the adaptation of the unfolding method to a thin-domain setting.     

Peristaltic motion of a magnetohydrodynamic micropolar fluid in a tube

This study is concerned with the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a micropolar fluid in a circular cylindrical tube. The equations governing the flow are modeled using the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. It is found that the governing equations are coupled partial differential equations for the flow velocity and the microrotation. The finite difference scheme is used to integrate the equations and the results are graphically presented and discussed. Special emphasis is given to the effects of micropolar fluid parameters, tube wall peristaltic amplitude and magnetic parameter on the transverse profiles of velocity and microrotation as well as pumping characteristics and trapping phenomena.     

Unsteady MHD stagnation-point flow with heat and mass transfer in a micropolar fluid in the presence of thermophoresis and suction/injection

The effect of suction or injection on unsteady MHD flow with heat and mass transfer in a micropolar fluid near the forward stagnation point flow with thermophoresis has been investigated. The problem is reduced to a system of non-dimensional partial differential equations, which are solved numerically using the implicit finite-difference scheme. Profiles for velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration as well as the skin friction, the rate of heat and mass transfer are determined and presented graphically for physical parameters. The results show that the suction increases the skin friction, the rate of heat and mass transfer while opposite trend is observed for the case of injection. It is also found that the effect of thermophoresis is decrease the concentration boundary layer thickness.

Onset of convection in a porous mantle

The problem of thermal instability in a fluid saturated porous spherical shell heated internally, due to uniform internal heat sources and in equilibrium under its own radial gravitational field is studied theoretically. A general disturbance is analysed into modes in terms of spherical harmonics of various orders,l, for different values of the thickness of the mantle and the criteria for the onset of convection for the first fifteen modes is obtained in four different cases when the outer and inner bounding surfaces are either impermeable or permeable. It is shown that as the thickness of the shell decreases, the pattern of convection which sets in at marginal stability shifts progressively to harmonics of higher order for all the three cases except when both the bounding surfaces are permeable, in which case the onset of convection occurs at a harmonic of order 1. A comparison of some representative results of these cases is made with that of continuous fluid shell with rigid or free boundary surfaces. The neutral stability plots for various thickness of the mantle, for five different models of the mantle, are plotted for the different types of boundary surfaces.

Thermal convection problem of micropolar fluid subjected to hall current

Thermal instability of a micropolar fluid layer heated from below in the presence of hall currents is investigated. Using the appropriate boundary conditions on the boundary surfaces of the fluid layer, the frequency equation is derived and then critical Rayleigh number is determined. It is found that hall current parameter has destabilizing effect on the system. For specific values of parameters, oscillatory convection in observed in the system. The behavior of Rayleigh number with wavenumber is also computed for different values of various parameters. The results of some earlier workers have been reduced as a special case from the present problem.     

Analyticity of solutions for semilinear elliptic systems of second order

This paper deals with systems , , where the right hand side is a -valued, real analytic function. We prove that a solution of such a system can be continued across a straight line segment , if one prescribe certain nonlinear, mixed boundary conditions on , which are assumed to be real analytic too. This continuation will be constructed by solving certain hyperbolic initial boundary value problems, generalizing an idea of H. Lewy. We apply this result to surfaces of prescribed mean curvature and to minimal surfaces in Riemannian manifolds spanned into a regular Jordan curve : Supposing analyticity of all data, we show that both types of surfaces can be continued across .
