Asymptotic analysis of the nonsteady micropolar fluid flow through a curved pipe

ABSTRACT

We consider the nonsteady flow of a micropolar fluid in a thin (or long) curved pipe via rigorous asymptotic analysis. Germano's reference system is employed to describe the pipe's geometry. After writing the governing equations in curvilinear coordinates, we construct the asymptotic expansion up to a second order. Obtained in the explicit form, the asymptotic approximation clearly demonstrates the effects of pipe's distortion, micropolarity and the time derivative. A detailed study of the boundary layers in space is provided as well as the construction of the divergence correction. Finally, a rigorous justification of the proposed effective model is given by proving the error estimates.

Physicochemical investigation of some archaeometallurgical findings from locality Kmpije (Bor,Serbia)

Preliminary results of physicochemical investigation of some archaeometallurgical findings from Kmpije locality in vicinity of Bor (Serbia) are presented in this paper. Ancient samples of prehistoric origin were investigated using different instrumental analytic methods—chemical, differential thermal, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis. Obtained results indicate to the presence of ancient metallurgical activities, so locality Kmpije may be considered as an archaeometallurgical site, which should be investigated more in future for more precise details.
