Inhomogeneous and Radiating Composite Fluids

We consider the energy conditions for a dissipative matter distribution. The conditions can be expressed as a system of equations for the matter variables. The energy conditions are then generalised for a composite matter distribution; a combination of viscous barotropic fluid, null dust and a null string fluid is also found in a spherically symmetric spacetime. This new system of equations comprises the energy conditions that are satisfied by a Type I fluid. The energy conditions for a Type II fluid are also presented, which are reducible to the Type I fluid only for a particular function. This treatment will assist in studying the complexity of composite relativistic fluids in particular self-gravitating systems.

Plane waves in noncommutative fluids

We study the dynamics of the noncommutative fluid in the Snyder space perturbatively at the first order in powers of the noncommutative parameter. The linearized noncommutative fluid dynamics is described by a system of coupled linear partial differential equations in which the variables are the fluid density and the fluid potentials. We show that these equations admit a set of solutions that are monochromatic plane waves for the fluid density and two of the potentials and a linear function for the third potential. The energy–momentum tensor of the plane waves is calculated.     

Shear-horizontal waves in a rotated Y-cut quartz plate in contact with a viscous fluid

We study shear-horizontal (SH) waves in a crystal plate of rotated Y-cut quartz in contact with a semi-infinite viscous fluid. The crystal plate and the fluid are governed by the equations of anisotropic elasticity and the theory of Newtonian fluids. A transcendental equation that determines the dispersion relations of the waves is obtained. Approximate analytical solutions to the equation are presented for the case of low viscosity fluids and the case of long waves whose wavelength is much larger than the plate thickness. The effects of the fluid viscosity and density on the dispersion relations of the waves are examined. The results obtained are fundamental and useful to the understanding and design of acoustic wave fluid sensors for measuring fluid viscosity or density.     

The equivalence of perfect fluid space-times and viscous magnetohydrodynamic space-times in general relativity

The work of a previous article [1] is extended to show that space-times which are the exact solutions of the field equations for a perfect fluid also may be exact solutions of the field equations for a viscous magnetohydrodynamic fluid. Conditions are found for this equivalence to exist and viscous magnetohydrodynamic solutions are found for a number of known perfect fluid space-times.

Extension of Compressibility-Route Cubic Equations of State and the Radial Distribution Functions at Contact to Multi-Component Hard-Sphere Mixtures

The equation of state(EOS) for hard-sphere fluid derived from compressibility routes of Percus-Yevick theory(PYC) is extended. The two parameters are determined by fitting well-known virial coefficients of pure fluid.The extended cubic EOS can be directly extended to multi-component mixtures, merely demanding the EOS of mixtures also is cubic and combining two physical conditions for the radial distribution functions at contact(RDFC) of mixtures.The calculated virial coefficients of pure fluid and predicted compressibility factors and RDFC for both pure fluid and mixtures are excellent as compared with the simulation data. The values of RDFC for mixtures with extremely large size ratio 10 are far better than the BGHLL expressions in literature.

Anisotropic fluid spheres in general relativity

A procedure is developed to find static solutions for anisotropic fluid spheres from known static solutions for perfect fluid spheres. The method is used to obtain four exact analytical solutions of Einstein’s equations for spherically symmetric self-gravitating distribution of anisotropic matter. The solutions are matched to the Schwarzschild exterior metric. The physical features of one of the solutions are briefly discussed. Many previously known perfect fluid solutions are derived as particular cases.     

Exact Solutions for the Flow of Fractional Maxwell Fluid in Pipe-Like Domains

This paper presents an analysis of unsteady flow of incompressible fractional Maxwell fluid filled in the annular region between two infinite coaxial circular cylinders. The fluid motion is created by the inner cylinder that applies a longitudinal time-dependent shear stress and the outer cylinder that is moving at a constant velocity. The velocity field and shear stress are determined using the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. Obtained solutions are presented in terms of the generalized G and R functions. We also obtain the solutions for ordinary Maxwell fluid and Newtonian fluid as special cases of generalized solutions. The influence of different parameters on the velocity field and shear stress is also presented using graphical illustration. Finally, a comparison is drawn between motions of fractional Maxwell fluid, ordinary Maxwell fluid and Newtonian fluid.     

Effective interaction between two giant spheres suspended in a size polydisperse hard-sphere fluid

Analytic expressions for the Laplace transform of the interaction energy and force between two exceedingly large hard spheres at infinite dilution in a polydisperse hard-sphere suspending fluid are presented. The equations are based on the Percus–Yevick approximation for the many-component suspending fluid, supplemented by the hypernetted chain approximation for the correlation function of the suspended spheres. By applying the Derjaguin approximation, the energy and force results for two spheres are related to the energy per unit area and the disjoining pressure between two flat walls suspended in a polydisperse fluid. Numerical results for the representative Schultz distributions of the diameters of the species comprising the suspending fluid are presented and discussed.

Heat Transfer in an Upper Convected Maxwell Fluid with Fluid Particle Suspension

An analysis is carried out to study the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer characteristics of an electrically conducting dusty non-Newtonian fluid, namely, the upper convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a stretching sheet. The stretching velocity and the temperature at the surface are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the origin. Using a similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the model problem are transformed into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations and the equations are solved numerically by a second order finite difference implicit method known as the Keller-box method. Comparisons with the available results in the literature are presented as a special case. The effects of the physical parameters on the fluid velocity, the velocity of the dust particle, the density of the dust particle, the fluid temperature, the dust-phase temperature, the skin friction, and the wall-temperature gradient are presented through tables and graphs. It is observed that, Maxwell fluid reduces the wall-shear stress. Also, the fluid particle interaction reduces the fluid temperature in the boundary layer. Furthermore, the results obtained for the flow and heat transfer characteristics reveal many interesting behaviors that warrant further study on the non-Newtonian fluid flow phenomena, especially the dusty UCM fluid flow phenomena.     

Time-dependent fluid squeeze-out between solids with rough surfaces

We study the time dependency of the (average) interfacial separation between an elastic solid with a flat surface and a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface, squeezed together in a fluid. As an application we discuss fluid squeeze-out between a tire tread block and a road surface. Some implications for the leakage of seals are discussed, and experimental results are presented to test the theory. The theoretical prediction for the leak rate as a function of the fluid pressure difference is in good agreement with the experimental data for all fluid pressures up to “lift-off”, where the fluid pressure equals the nominal rubber-substrate squeezing pressure.     

Supercritical fluid state of hydrocarbon-water fluids in a porous medium and optimization of fluid release from pores

The conditions for transition to a state of supercritical (SC) fluid in the hydrocarbons-water system are examined. A method for thermochemical heating the productive stratum near the oil well involving the transition of the oil-water formation fluid to the SC state (homogeneous, inseparable, and extremely fluid) is proposed. New chemical compositions, binary mixtures (BMs) of nitrates of organic amines (organic nitrate) and initiators of their decomposition, capable of ensuring the transition of the fluid to the supercritical state at the expense of high pressures and temperatures generated by rock pressure and heat of the exothermic reaction of BM are tested. The effectiveness of the scheme of production of formation fluid in waterflooded oil fields is assessed.     

Effect of the ion slip on the MHD flow of a dusty fluid with heat transfer under exponential decaying pressure gradient

In the present study, the unsteady Hartmann flow with heat transfer of a dusty viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid under the influence of an exponentially decreasing pressure gradient is studied without neglecting the ion slip. The parallel plates are assumed to be porous and subjected to a uniform suction from above and injection from below while the fluid is acted upon by an external uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plates. The equations of motion are solved analytically to yield the velocity distributions for both the fluid and dust particles. The energy equations for both the fluid and dust particles including the viscous and Joule dissipation terms, are solved numerically using finite differences to get the temperature distributions.     

Flow-thermoelastic vibration and instability analysis of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes embedded in viscous fluid

The flexural vibration of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) conveying fluid and embedded in viscous fluid is investigated by the nonlocal Timoshenko beam model. The governing equations are developed by Hamilton's principle, including the effects of structural damping of the CNT, internal moving fluid, external viscous fluid, temperature change and nonlocal parameter. Applying Galerkin’s approach, the resulting equations are transformed into a set of eigenvalue equations. The validity of the present analysis is confirmed by comparing the results with those obtained in literature. The effects of the main parameters on the vibration characteristics of the CNT are also elucidated. Most results presented in the present investigation have been absent from the literature for the vibration and instability of the CNT conveying fluid.     

In-plane vibration analysis of curved carbon nanotubes conveying fluid embedded in viscoelastic medium

The effect of the induced vibrations in the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) arising from the internal fluid flow is a critical issue in the design of CNT-based fluidic devices. In this study, in-plane vibration analysis of curved CNTs conveying fluid embedded in viscoelastic medium is investigated. The CNT is modeled as a linear elastic cylindrical tube where the internal moving fluid is characterized by steady flow velocity and mass density of fluid. A modified-inextensible theory is used in formulation and the steady-state initial forces due to the centrifugal and pressure forces of the internal fluid are also taken into account. The finite element method is used to discretize the equation of motion and the frequencies are obtained by solving a quadratic eigenvalue problem. The effects of CNT opening angle, the elastic modulus and the damping factor of the viscoelastic surrounded medium and fluid velocity on the resonance frequencies are elucidated. It is shown that curved CNTs are unconditionally stable even for a system with sufficiently high flow velocity. The most results presented in this investigation have been absent from the literature for fluid-induced vibration of curved CNTs embedded in viscoelastic foundations.     

Streamer radius model and its assessment using two-dimensionalmodels

The variable radius method is proposed to approximate the radius of the ionization channel in the one and a half-dimensional (1.5-D) fluid models for studying streamer development, in which the unreasonable constant radius in the traditional 1.5-D fluid models is corrected. The streamer development and propagation between the 1.5-D fluid model with the variable radius method and the two-dimensional (2-D) fluid model using the same initial and external conditions are compared. The radius in each stage of streamer development from the 1.5-D fluid model with the variable radius method shows agreement to a certain degree with that of the 2-D fluid model. The purpose of this paper is not to negate the role of the 2-D fluid models, but to explore the potential of the 1.5-D fluid models and make them more useful and accurate as well as to understand the evolution of streamer radius. The streamer development from the 1.5-D fluid model with the variable radius method not only maintains simplicity of the 1.5-D fluid models, but also presents agreement with the 2-D fluid models for streamers     

Fluid spacetimes admitting covariantly constant vectors and tensors

Spacetimes admitting a covariantly constant vector and satisfying the Einstein field equations for a perfect fluid, a viscous heat-conducting fluid, or an anisotropic fluid are studied. It is found that the only possible perfect fluid spacetimes are the Einstein static universe and stiff-matter spacetimes with an isolated spatial co-ordinate, while the possible viscous fluid and anisotropic fluid spacetimes, although more abundant than their perfect fluid counterparts, must satisfy a number of strong restrictions. Examples illustrating most of the various possible situations are given. The paper concludes with a study of covariantly constant second-rank tensors in fluid spacetimes; the only possible solutions that do not also admit a covariantly constant vector are restricted to 2+2 spacetimes.
