In this work we develop a mathematical model to predict the velocity profile for an unidirectional, incompressible and steady flow of an Oldroyd 6-constant fluid. The fluid is electrically conducting by a transverse magnetic field. The developed governing equation is non-linear. This equation is solved analytically to obtain the general solution. The governing non-linear equation is also solved numerically subject to appropriate boundary conditions (three cases of typical plane shearing flows) by an iterative technique with the finite-difference discretizations. A parametric study of the physical parameters involved in the problems such as the applied magnetic field and the material constants is conducted. The obtained results are illustrated graphically to show salient features of the solutions. Numerical results show that the applied magnetic field tends to reduce the flow velocity. Depending on the choice of the material parameters, the fluid exhibits shear-thickening or shear-thinning behaviours. 相似文献

The induced unsteady flow due to a stretching surface in a rotating fluid, where the unsteadiness is caused by the suddenly stretched surface is studied in this paper. After a similarity transformation, the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations have been solved numerically using the Keller-box method. Also, the perturbation solution for small times as well as the asymptotic solution for large times, when the flow becomes steady, has been obtained. It is found that there is a smooth transition from the small time solution to the large time or steady state solution. 相似文献

Steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an electrically conducting power-law fluid over a stretching surface is investigated when the surface is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation-point. We have discussed the uniqueness of the solution except when the ratio of free stream velocity and stretching velocity is equal to 1. The effect of magnetic field on the flow characteristic is explored numerically and it is concluded that the velocity at a point decreases/increases with increase in the magnetic field when the free stream velocity is less/greater than the stretching velocity. It is further observed that for a given value of magnetic parameter M, the dimensionless shear stress coefficient |F″(0)| increases with increase in power-law index n when the value of the ratio of free stream velocity and stretching velocity is close to 1 but not equal to 1. But when the value of this ratio further differs from 1, the variation of |F″(0)| with n is non-monotonic. 相似文献

Uniformly valid solutions are obtained for the hydromagnetic flow at a moving plate and at an oscillating plate. In each case, two different representations for the solution are presented. On one representation a half order fractional operator is used, whereas the other representation did not rely on fractional operator. Solutions for special cases of the oscillating plate are calculated for finite times. Furthermore, the effects of the nondimensional numbers M (the magnetic parameter), Re (the suction Reynolds number) on the flow are compared with the existing results and are discussed. 相似文献

This paper considers the unsteady unidirectional flow of a micropolar fluid, produced by the sudden application of an arbitrary time dependent pressure gradient, between two parallel plates. The no-slip and the no-spin boundary conditions are used. Exact solutions for the velocity and microrotation distributions are obtained based on the use of the complex inversion formula of Laplace transform. The solution of the problem is also considered if the upper boundary of the flow is a free surface. The particular cases of a constant and a harmonically oscillating pressure gradient are then examined and some numerical results are illustrated graphically. 相似文献

An exact solution of an oscillatory flow is constructed in a rotating fluid under the influence of an uniform transverse magnetic field. The fluid is considered as second-grade (non-Newtonian). The influence of Hall currents and material parameters of the second-grade fluid is investigated. The hydromagnetic flow is generated in the uniformly rotating fluid bounded between two rigid non-conducting parallel plates by small amplitude oscillations of the upper plate. The exact solutions of the steady and unsteady velocity fields are constructed. It is found that the steady solution depends on the Hall parameter but is independent of the material parameter of the fluid. The unsteady part of the solution depends upon both (Hall and material) parameters. Attention is focused upon the physical nature of the solution, and the structure of the various kinds of boundary layers is examined. Several results of physical interest have been deduced in limiting cases. 相似文献

Exact analytical solutions for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows of an incompressible second grade fluid in a porous medium are developed. The modified Darcy's law for second grade fluid has been used in the flow modelling. The Hall effect is taken into account. The exact solutions for the unsteady flow induced by the time-dependent motion of a plane wall between two side walls perpendicular to the plane has been constructed by means of Fourier sine transforms. The similar solutions for a Newtonian fluid, performing the same motion, appear as limiting cases of the solutions obtained here. The influence of various parameters of interest on the velocity and shear stress at the bottom wall has been shown and discussed through several graphs. A comparison between a Newtonian and a second grade fluids is also made. 相似文献

The velocity field and the adequate tangential stresses corresponding to the unsteady flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid induced by a constantly accelerating plate between two side walls perpendicular to the plate are established by means of Fourier sine transforms. The solutions corresponding to Maxwell, second grade and Newtonian fluids, performing the same motion, appear as limiting cases of the solutions obtained here. In the absence of the side walls, namely when the distance between walls tends to infinity, all solutions that have been determined reduce to those corresponding to the flow over an infinite plate. Finally, for comparison, the velocity field at the middle of the channel as well as the shear stress on the bottom wall is plotted as a function of y for several values of t and of the material constants. The influence of the side walls on the motion of the fluid is also emphasized by graphical illustrations. 相似文献

In this paper, the unsteady three‐dimensional boundary layer flow due to a stretching surface in a viscous and incompressible micropolar fluid is considered. The partial differential equations governing the unsteady laminar boundary layer flow are solved numerically using an implicit finite‐difference scheme. The numerical solutions are obtained which are uniformly valid for all dimensionless time from initial unsteady‐state flow to final steady‐state flow in the whole spatial region. The equations for the initial unsteady‐state flow are also solved analytically. It is found that there is a smooth transition from the small‐time solution to the large‐time solution. The features of the flow for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed. The solutions of interest for the skin friction coefficient with various values of the stretching parameter c and material parameter K are presented. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this paper, the flow of a visco-elastic liquid between two parallel plates has been studied when one plate is stationary and the other plate suddenly starts oscillating. Both finite Fourier sine transform and Laplace transform technique have been employed to solve the basic differential equations. The flow phenomenon has been characterized by the parameters, and and the effects of these on the flow characteristics have been studied through several graphs.Late professor of the department, who died in an accident on 7th July 1978. 相似文献

The transient boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting non-Newtonian power-law fluid in a stagnation region of a two-dimensional body in the presence of an applied magnetic field have been studied when the motion is induced impulsively from rest. The non-linear partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer have been solved by the homotopy analysis method and by an implicit finite-difference scheme. For some cases, analytical or approximate solutions have also been obtained. The special interest are the effects of the power-law index, magnetic parameter and the generalized Prandtl number on the surface shear stress and heat transfer rate. In all cases, there is a smooth transition from the transient state to steady state. The shear stress and heat transfer rate at the surface are found to be significantly influenced by the power-law index N except for large time and they show opposite behaviour for steady and unsteady flows. The magnetic field strongly affects the surface shear stress, but its effect on the surface heat transfer rate is comparatively weak except for large time. On the other hand, the generalized Prandtl number exerts strong influence on the surface heat transfer. The skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number decrease rapidly in a small interval 0<t*<1 and reach the steady-state values for t*≥4. 相似文献

This communication considers the steady converging/diverging flow of a non-Newtonian viscous power-law fluid in a round cone. The motion is driven by a sink/source of mass at the origin. It is shown that the problem permits exact similarity solution for a particular value (n=4/3) of the fluid index. In this case a complete set of governing equations can be reduced to an ordinary differential equation, which is solved numerically for different values of the main non-dimensional parameters (the cone angle and the dimensionless sink/source intensity). 相似文献

The steady non-radial flow of an incompressible fluid of second grade in a contracting channel is studied. The dependence of the flow on the material parameters of the fluid and on the channel angle is investigated. A similarity transformation is introduced for the streamfunction which reduces the P.D.E. to a sequence of O.D.E.s. A series solution is employed to solve the problem.

The three-dimensional problem of the motion of a thin plate in an inviscid, heavy, weakly-compressible fluid is solved. The surface tension is disregarded. The plate moves rectilinearly at a constant velocity under the surface of an infinite-depth fluid and oscillates at a given frequency. The fluctuating dipole potential is obtained from the Euler and continuity equations with account for the conditions on the free surface (linear theory of small waves) and the conditions at infinity. The density distribution function of the dipole layer is determined from the boundary conditions imposed on the plate surface. Formulas for calculating the far acoustic field are derived. The calculations for a square plate are carried out. 相似文献

This investigation deals with the effects of slip, magnetic field, and non- Newtonian flow parameters on the flow and heat transfer of an incompressible, electrically conducting fourth-grade fluid past an infinite porous plate. The heat transfer analysis is carried out for two heating processes. The system of highly non-linear differential equations is solved by the shooting method with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method for moderate values of the parameters. The effective Broyden technique is adopted in order to improve the initial guesses and to satisfy the boundary conditions at infinity. An exceptional cross-over is obtained in the velocity profile in the presence of slip. The fourth-grade fluid parameter is found to increase the momentum boundary layer thickness, whereas the slip parameter substantially decreases it. Similarly, the non-Newtonian fluid parameters and the slip have opposite effects on the thermal boundary layer thickness. 相似文献

Unsteady flow of an Oldroyd fluid between two coaxial circular cylinders is investigated, the fluid being set in motion as the inner cylinder moves from rest for a certain period with linearly growing speed and then stops suddenly. The Laplace transform technique is used to derive the solution. For the case when the gap between the cylinders is small, a simplified solution is obtained. The expression for the shear stress on the wall of the outer cylinder is obtained and particular cases are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The modification of the axisymmetric viscous flow due to relative rotation of the disk or fluid by a translation of the boundary is studied. The fluid is taken to be compressible, and the relative rotation and translation velocity of the disk or fluid are time-dependent. The nonlinear partial differential equations governing the motion are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme and Newton's linearisation technique. Numerical solutions are obtained at various non-dimensional times and disk temperatures. The non-symmetric part of the flow (secondary flow) describing the translation effect generates a velocity field at each plane parallel to the disk. The cartesian components of velocity due to secondary flow exhibit oscillations when the motion is due to rotation of the fluid on a translating disk. Increase in translation velocity produces an increment in the radial skin friction but reduces the tangential skin friction. 相似文献

This paper presents a numerical study of the flow and heat transfer of an incompressible homogeneous second grade type fluid above a flat plate moving with constant velocity U. Such a viscoelastic fluid is at rest and the motion is created by the sheet. The effects of the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid are governed by the local Deborah number K (the ratio between the relaxation time of the fluid and the characteristic time of the flow). When , a new analytical solution for this flow is presented and the effects of fluid's elasticity on flow characteristics, dimensionless stream function and its derivatives are analysed in a wide domain of K. A novel result of the analysis is that a change in the flow solution's behaviour occurs when the dimensionless stream function at the edge of the boundary layer, f∞, equals 1.0. It is found that velocity at a point decreases with increase in the elasticity of the fluid and, as expected, the amount of fluid entrained diminishes when the effects of fluid's elasticity are augmented. In our heat transfer analyses we assume that the surface temperature has a power-law variation. Two cases are studied, namely, (i) the sheet with prescribed surface temperature (PST case) and (ii) the sheet with prescribed heat flux (PHF case). Local similarity heat-transfer solutions are given for PST case when s=2 (the wall temperature parameter) whereas when a similarity solution takes place in the case of prescribed wall heat flux. The numerical results obtained are fairly in good agreement with the aforementioned analytical ones. 相似文献
